@@baileybutterfly320 oh ok that’s your perspective of course. I have two questions for you, are you from Chicago city? If so have you lived in other cities or areas?
Different jobs pay differently. And the level of responsibility is different as well. When I was living & working in Chicago, I made a lot more money than all of those people. However, I was working well over 70 hours/week (not including work that I do at home). I was just miserable and had, almost, no personal/social life; additionally, my wife & I almost got a divorce, because of that job.
@FlansyLinny 5 years in one role is too long when you're young. Find a better paying job with some more responsibilities and start working your way up. Have confidence in yourself that you can do it and find a way. I know it sounds cheesy but that's how it's done. That and networking. Lots and lots of networking.
Just goes to show...none of the salaries ever make sense from a standpoint of prestige or degree. All that matters is supply & demand. Hell, if they didn't have any garbage collectors working then you'd prob get paid $500K a year. Who knows. LOL
Chicago scale for local 1 Union Iron Worker is $57 per hour for journeyman. The minimum for apprentice is $34.24 per hour. Something about this interview isn’t adding up. I think it’s possibly scripted. There’s no union hall for ironworkers paying $25 per hour.
@@WallyWest96 it’s more relatable. Doesn’t even need to be struggling but most young people aren’t making that much. It’s good too see more of a broad scope of how people make/spend their money
Okay that guy with the union is making a strong case for that. Guys here in the south working that work will definitely not make $25/hr working with less than 5 years experience.
He'll get a big raise once he's done with his apprenticeship. But ironworking is tough. I did that for a summer back in college. You start out setting and tying rebar in place on bridge decks. The rebar is heavy and you spend most of the day bent over. Most people couldn't do that job. With that said, it does get better as you gain experience and learn the trade.
@@ISpitHotFiyaa I mean it’s hard work. I don’t doubt it. I have done labor and know some is even harder. I am just glad to see. People being payed because that bottom pay tells me there is room for growth and have worked and seen people who do also harder labor and not get compensated well at all.

Bruh...a Data Scientist making only 100K is wild. I'd like to know what her actual level is and duties. Because that's beyond low for the industry. Measly Data Analysts make that much and then some w/ experience. She needs to switch jobs after some experience and make 160K min salary. But more like 180-200K+.
@GymDoc But that said...I've never once seen a data scientist (in truest sense) that doesn't require a PhD or at least a Masters in the field. So I kinda suspect it's not really data science duties (just title).
@R L I disagree with that statement. As a data engineer myself, yes, it depends on the data maturity of the particular org and industry they sit within. But that said...DS aren't analyst (which I was prior to moving up to DE). Analysts look at past metrics and don't require strong statistics or mathematics. DS look at the future and forecast using models based on the data that (hopefully if the org has mature data environment) they have DEs that provide them proper data pipelines. This is why Data Scientists typically have a masters in CS/mathematics etc. Or a PhD in a subject with a strong emphasis in statistical models. DS don't do anything related to DAs.
I think its just because it’s easier to make this type of content in cities. I imagine they have to ask dozens of people for interviews just to make an 9 minute video and I wouldn’t be surprised if only 15-20 out of every 100 people they ask are willing to be interviewed. In my city I walk by or sit next to at least 300-400 people per day just running errands, going to work or going to visit my parents or my friends so I can basically guarantee a lengthy video if I wanted to make street interviews. In the Midwestern small town I went to college in, once I was off campus I maybe saw 20 people walking on the street per day and maybe 100 people all at once inside a WalMart
Funny how the people who feel unfairly compensated are people who have no formal training for their job, they should feel lucky to even be hired for their jobs.
That's not how it works, dumb*ss. If the company you work feels you are qualified enough for a certain position, regardless of your training pathway to get there, then they should pay you market rate.

@@itstayayg193 Most Data Scientists are self-taught as formal education barely originated about a decade ago. Many employers prefer self-taught over pedagogic learners.

This is so wrong! Nobody starts with anything over $200K. Entry level PhD Data Scientist in the Bay Area would make around $150K plus or minus $20K. Anything outside of this range, I'd call it an exception/outlier.

Come to St. Louis, MO. It'll be interesting to see what other engineers make here.
Teacher is making way more than 71k when you include the pension payouts which are insane in Illinois. Shes making closer to 100k
Depends where you work bro. Do your research
The pension is deducted from their salary. It's not on top of the salary.
Great interviews with some useful advice.
Glad uou did chicago. Wish that iron worker was mking more Even as an apprentice
I live in Chicago and I can barely make 60k I don’t know how people get these inflated salaries.

Do this in a different location. Maybe Fulton Market on a Friday or Saturday.
Nice job Hannah.

wish yall interviewed more less established young 20 year olds
Why? To make you feel better? Lol

$70k for a 2nd grade teacher!! Omg! That's more than I've heard they make in Chicago. Wow!

We carry them in the hospital at all times 😄
In tech it’s just an app on your phone or a company issued phone with an app or sms to blare an alarm when you get a issue
Yeah they should bring them back for just public use my generation man 🤣🤣🤣
I always watch your video ❤️, and hopefully you will always ask how long they've been doing their job
Did someone interview Hannah?
When they mention their salary. Is that net or Pre-Tax? How much is net?
Obviously it's pre-tax. Why would you even ask that
