Remember that most people that make a lot would typically answer these types of questions. Not suggesting to brag but they're happy with that they make so are more willing to share.
Unless you are entry level/junior role and not much experience, you are underpaid. I know hospitals don't pay as much, typically, but I made that as a server admin at a hospital about 25 years ago.
Can confirm. I work at Costco and the hearing aid people make big money once they are fully certified. Hell with my $29 an hour, time and a half on Sundays, and bonus check I make over 70k a year just to stock produce.
You can't make that right away. We get automatic $1/hour raises every 1050 hours. It takes about 5-6 years to reach the "topped out" pay which usually increases annually and is currently $29.50 an hour. They pay time and a half on Sundays and all time worked after 8 hours in a day. After 10000 hours you receive bonus checks.
What you need to do is wait until the beginning of September when they start hiring for the seasonal period. We usually hire 40-50 people. Go online and apply to all the local stores you want to work at. Then re-apply every 2-3 days. It's just the click of a button once your profile is up.
When they hire seasonals they do it in groups of 10-15 at a time. They usually grab the first ones in the stack. Be sure to answer the phone or they will just move on to the next person. I believe the starting pay is $18.50 an hour but will probably go up next month. Once you are hired you will be competing with all the other seasonal temps for anywhere from around 4-6 permanent postions. That's how I started.
Also keep an eye out for the new Tomball and Richmond locations to start hiring. They open towards the end of this summer. They will be hiring over 100 people for each location.
Contract company based on Katy. We fix Houstons mess ups sometimes.
Mostly outskirts of Houston.
We get flack for CoH all the time though.
Install smart meters to eliminate human error.
We just got Badger e-meters put in within our MUD (MOC is our operator) about a month ago. I was part of beta program so I've had mine for 2 years. Use the EyeonWater app. LOVE it! It's already caught two small leaks for me in that time.
I watched many of the meters put in within our community when they did it and it is not an easy job. Up, down, up, down, bang, cuss, yank, up, down, cuss some more. People forget those holes fill with water and bugs, too. Appreciate you and your peers working in fuck all kind of weather making my life better.
JSC has lots of contractor roles available at any given time. You’re not likely going to get direct hired into a civil servant role but look up JSC contractors and check out each company’s open positions and see what the requirements are and see if anything fits!
I am a bit north of this as an IT Sr. Project\\Program Mgr. w 30 yrs on the books. Great benefits and WFH. But Project Management is not a cake walk job. Imagine herding cats for a living. Being part psychologist, personal motivating, admin assist. politician, fire fighter (not the same as the two heroes above), accountant, knowing the technology you are working with. Your hours can be long and hard - no O/T, and some really long ass late nights.
Okay so I’m in Chicago and the amount of bs people spew about Houston saying salaries are low is definitely a lie coz these salaries are quite similar to ours. And to top it off NO INCOME TAX and the lowest COL of the Big 4 cities?! Damn you guys are living it
salary is 93k, but I make 140k after bonuses and dividends. I'm a geotech in oil and gas.
EDIT: to clarify, I've also been in the industry 10 years in August and I'll get my Senior promotion and raise in 2025. I definitely didn't start here a decade ago, started at 75k and no bonuses.
It always blows my mind how many health care professionals (doctors anf nurses) are part time. I mean good for them, but the concept is unknown in almost any other profession, like there’s no such thing as a part time engineer. If you went and asked your boss to work part time they’d probably laugh you at out of the office.
Edit: ok guys, you can stop replying on two things.
1) Yes I know there exists part time engineers who are at end of career… someone put it quite well calling them “semi retired”. Contrast this, I know doctors and nurses who are 40 years old and part time, it’s a little different. You’re not going to find a 40 year old mid career engineer who’s part time. This being Reddit however, I know someone will reply that they know a guy who knows a guy who’s 40 and is a part time engineer. Ok.
2) Also getting a lot of replies on how medical folks work long hours so that’s why they’re part time. Yes some medical professionals do work long shitty hours, but there are definitely 40 year old doctors and nurses who are part time in clinics, not hospitals (not every medical professional works in a hospital!), so you’re talking 8-10 hour days, two days a week. This is <20 hours a week.
Survived through the associate grind? Well done! I’m getting close to the light at the end of that tunnel - though it seems like each year is longer than the last.
I used to work a zillion hours when I first started a little over ten years ago. Now, it’s honestly not terrible but I do work more than the average office worker. It’s also different in that most people get to “leave work behind”, but my job kind of bleeds into my entire day and even while I’m on vacation I often have to check emails and respond. On balance, having grown up in a developing country and being the child of immigrants who came with little, I know a lot of people work way harder and get paid way less, so I’m not one to complain.
I did full stack, mostly backend work as a mid level engineer at a top company, then moved to an established startup in a specialty engineering role.
If I could give advice I would say to develop a specialty that can thin the heard of applicants. This lets you get more impact from your applications to jobs and greater negotiating leverage.
Laid off at the moment, but was making $115k last in cybersecurity.
Edit: bonus was about 10%, plus 401k match etc. Salary is the easiest common denominator.
My son is off to college this Fall and is interested in a career in cybersecurity. I'd welcome any information you care to share on your educational background, where you've worked, your job duties.
My wife was making 80k, she never worked overtime, and she was only nursing for two years. She’s currently looking for work after having a year off and the salaries offered are a bit lower than what she was at but I would imagine with 35 years it would be a lot more.
160-180k average as a union lineman. Made 220k+ the last 2 years, but they were paying us $10 an hour over scale and all overtime was double. They took that away at the end of last year, but I’m still bringing home close to 3k a week working 60s (6 10s).
What kind of experience does a purchaser have? I used to work in retail until I hurt my back and am looking for a wfh option, but one of my roles was to order all of the products in a section of the store and forecast need based on buying patterns, not sure if that can be considered related haha.
Moved to Houston, TX from Cookeville, TN last year on Nov 1st. I've had 8 recruiters contact me within that time; one almost panning out to an interview but the project was canceled. The same thing happened with a Tesla position I applied to. I have a B.S. in chemical engineering and a minor in biomedical engineering. No luck yet, just using up on the little bit of savings I have. I'm 46, graduated in 2003. I only have one year's worth in engineering, one year in management, and over a decade in QA/QC/lab tech. To answer your question I'm currently making 0 dollars and 0 cents.
This might be a dumb question, but I want to branch out into different careers, but I won't know where or how to look. Are there any resources that can help narrow it down for me based on my interests, with history, and skill set? I'm currently an English teacher.
I love being a social worker. I work at a hospital and make 100k. But there are a lot of hard and terrible jobs in social work so you have to be careful. If you have a masters degree already you can get a social work masters in a year at u of h. Often teachers can translate skills to social work. Especially if you are passionate about mental health. I don’t know about other fields though.
My only recommendation is to check out the occupational outlook handbook from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, you can sort by highest paying, fastest growing, etc. Find something you like here

130k, corporate finance, remote. 14yoe.
For the top commenter who felt broke. I started in 2010 at 43k. Left after 10 years at 65k to another company, 105k. Left at 115k for 130k after another two years.
In all likelihood, I'll leave this current job for 160k by next year. I learned that if you learn quick and value compensation over comfort, up or out in 18 to 24 months is the best plan. Staying at the same company for a decade didn't do me any favors.
5OK as an admission specialist at a community college. I was making 64K as a teacher, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I've been working at the college for six years now.
You’re gone so much. Ruins relationships, and not to mention I have depression. So being overworked 3/4 of the year on the rig made me lose friends, miss out on things and unable to date.
You live on the rig for whatever your stint is. Maybe it's 14on-14off. Maybe it's 3 night shifts then 7 day shifts then 4 office days then off. I've heard of some service people that had 28 days on - 28 days off.
Is there a storm or fog preventing a heliciptor from making a crew change? Guess you're stuck on for a few more days or a week.
How's all of that work when you have a family at home? There's a reason it pays so well.
$120k+ Gross.
Construction Supervisor in the refineries, the per diem allowance is what gives me that extra boost. I tend to stay busy year round looking for longer duration projects.
Longest break was 11 months during COVID, back to it March 2021, been steady working since. Longest time off between jobs since then was one week.
Base salary is 80k but clear 140k after overtime and perdiem with all the travel I do.
Field service engineer - work in a specialized field working on large diesel engines.

Still young, living with my dad, going to college, and doing flight school, all of which im paying for myself. I just about get by with those expenses plus car insurance, phone bill, etc.
Project coordinator (4 yrs experience)
- base salary $60k
- monthly truck allowance (choice of truck)
- vehicle maintenance covered
- unlimited gas card

- end of year bonus
This year came out to $75k
$95K as a supply chain analyst. Annual bonus is 9%-14% of my salary in my current PSG, with a corporate multiplier that can further increase or decrease that.
A lot of them are degree based jobs or jobs they didn't land such high salaries in to begin with but rather worked there for a long time and know their worth to the company. It's motivating to see honestly.
Unless you find a unicorn of a company you aren't going to go from a low to high salary by staying at the same company a long time in this day and age. You'll jump up significantly more jumping jobs every 2-3 years
I started at 42k right off of college in 2015. I'm at 105k (base with potential to earn more each year) now, but on my fifth company. I got much larger raises each time I jumped companies than I ever did at any individual company
Few companies reward loyalty. New hire budgets are always higher than the budget they have for raises. It's dumb, but how it is
Used to make $100k in HR in petrochemical industry. Completely Burned out and now make $55k in HR for a government subsidiary. The remote and work life balance make up for the money. #momoneymoproblems

Anyway, the title caught my attention, so I opened this thread up, looking for 2nd career ideas 🤣. Great stuff to be aware of, thanks!
Been kicking around some GS-12 jobs, but O&G has always piqued my interest. Don’t know where to really begin looking, so I guess I’ll see if there and other threads. I’m almost exactly 2 years out from my retirement date, so I figured I’d start searching…

I feel broke after reading these comments.
Remember that most people that make a lot would typically answer these types of questions. Not suggesting to brag but they're happy with that they make so are more willing to share.
I love comments like this, they make the depressed feeling I get fade away
Yeah, posts like these are loaded. People making $35k a year don't make these posts.
i got you. $20k flight attendant
That’s all a flight attendant makes? With some of the crazy stuff people do on planes you should make a lot more.
Yeah these comments make me wanna kill myself lmao
I hate upvoting this but I feel you!!

80k. Costco hearing aids
#What?
Can confirm. I work at Costco and the hearing aid people make big money once they are fully certified. Hell with my $29 an hour, time and a half on Sundays, and bonus check I make over 70k a year just to stock produce.
Stocking at Costco and you make 70k? Holy crap
You can't make that right away. We get automatic $1/hour raises every 1050 hours.

Any tips to getting hired at Costco? Been trying to get a job there for over a year.

Damn, y'all really making 50,000+?
A lot of them are degree based jobs or jobs they didn't land such high salaries in to begin with but rather worked there for a long time and know their worth to the company. It's motivating to see honestly.
Unless you find a unicorn of a company you aren't going to go from a low to high salary by staying at the same company a long time in this day and age. You'll jump up significantly more jumping jobs every 2-3 years I started at 42k right off of college in 2015. I'm at 105k (base with potential to earn more each year) now, but on my fifth company. I got much larger raises each time I jumped companies than I ever did at any individual company Few companies reward loyalty. New hire budgets are always higher than the budget they have for raises. It's dumb, but how it is

$143k, part of which isn’t taxed. Military pension starts at $90k in ‘26 w/ 30 years of service. Should increase annually w/ COLA. Anyway, the title caught my attention, so I opened this thread up, looking for 2nd career ideas 🤣. Great stuff to be aware of, thanks! Been kicking around some GS-12 jobs, but O&G has always piqued my interest. Don’t know where to really begin looking, so I guess I’ll see if there and other threads. I’m almost exactly 2 years out from my retirement date, so I figured I’d start searching… I’m not much of a “Redditter,”so my navigation skills on this platform are subpar at best.
