I agree with the fact that alot of recruiters do exaggorate if not just out right lie about things however, It each individual's own responsibility to research and be informed when making life changing decissions.
Even with the examples you used in your original post their are alot of people that $1249 per week is more than enough or well enough for an income. Even modestly speaking of $600-700-800 per week may be enough and under the right circumstances can be enough.
I do not know your personal circumstances to comment further, but we have the choices and oppurtunities to make informed rational decissions in our lives and not have buyers remorse afterwards. I am sorry things did not work out for you in the industry for whatever those reasons were.
I wish you and yours the best................billsgirl Thanks this. -
I hope the local job works out for you guys. Pay in all sectors is kinda hard to come by lately. When I started my degrees in IT over 4 years ago the amount of good paying jobs, many being entry level was enormous. Now 4 and a half years later I have my associates and bachelors for IT computer networking and security, in debt about $50k, and can't get a better job to save my life. I know many IT veterans that were making 50K to 70k a year that have had to lower themselves into all those 35k to 40k a year jobs due to the economy so the entry level jobs are now almost nonexistent. So I'm stuck in my less than entry level job making just over $15 and hour. That would be a whopping $500 a week take home. With the numbers Jash369 put up, even the 600 to 700 or 800 a week would be an improvement. Especially considering my rent alone here on the Cali coast is 1300 out of my 2000 a month pay. I agree that the trucking industry has more than it's fare share of problems but right now so does the rest of the country. All the entry level drivers out there making any miles at all are making more money than many people with huge investments in their education. I'm not saying drivers aren't getting bent over out there but even with that said it's still looking somewhat better than what I'm looking at now.
