The problem there, is the one with the masters got a semi worthless degree.
And $60K is not that much these days.


I would be happy with it..

So would a lot of others, but is not a high salary. Is a decent salary
these days. 1980, mid level engineer made about $23k, assembly line worker
about $15k. Money is worth about 20% of 1980 dollar. So $60k is below
what an assembly line worker would now make with inflation.

My wife makes $68k as a maintenance director at a country club and she
is shopping for a construction project manager job in the $75-100 k
range
She already turned one down because it was too far away (35 miles)

Not bad for a girl in SW Florida with a high school diploma.

Not bad at all. But she has to be good to get where she is. Not a lot of
young HS diploma people making big money these days. Neither are those
with basket weaving Liberal Arts degrees. Spend $150k getting an English
degree and Masters so you can teach school at $48k a year? Maybe should
have got a science degree and start at $75k.
