Do well in school, they said.
Go to uni, they said.
Be an engineer, they said.
Mary and start a family, they said.
And I was earning less as a qualified automotive engineer, with a degree in rocket science, than I was earning tutoring HS kids, even before tax.
Wow that's crazy! Seriously legit job and education and you made more as a HS tutor? That's fucked man.
*More per hour
But yes, whenever they needed people they'd just keep getting more and more pajeets, and sending work over to the Chinese offices. My rate was $32/hour before tax.
When I was in uni, I started tutoring, and grew my client list to over 8 students per week. $35/hour cash, 2 hours each, while being a full time student. You can't really compare the two, because the engineering job was full time, but yeah, starting my own business was more profitable per hour.
I really think there's a LOT of money to be made in education, especially considering how shitty normal school education is.
