[quote][And what type of work?
And I'm being serious, every other question has been asked but so far I don't believe anyone has been crass enough to ask about personal income?quote]
Sam, I did not make very far before it was apparent that most responding was not going to answer your question. Me too, but I will tell you a little. I am retired, Surveyor crew chief (formerly party chief) for a State Wide crew for ARDOT (was AHTD) for 37 years. With my retirement, Social Security, Wife's Social Security, and a small amount that my wife's Mother put in some kind of retirement fund for Her, We get about 80 grand a year. We live comfortable. Owe nothing but the regular monthly bills. No house/rent payment, no car/truck payment. No secret, government goons already know this. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Might have done better in life had I lived down South and worked for Buc-Ees. But, I hate people so that place would not be for me. Pic from the other day while relatives were there. They liked the expensive 3 meat sammich though. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMZzhbg8/Buc-Ees-wages-2024.jpg)

Couldn't imagine what it must be like to manage a Buc-ee's or Walmarts etc
That $175-225K most likely works out to $15-20 hourly.
But hey, you probably won't live long anyhow, so.........

You'd have to deal with azzhat employees and follow all the rules about who you can hire and fire and why. That's not even dealing with the even worse azzhat customers. No friggen way. I kinda hate people already.

I would think competition for those buc-ees jobs are pretty fierce
they probably have a cot setup in the store room for those employees

Would be like the old mill town jobs, or the auto plant jobs. Uncle Joe tells second cousin Suzie there's an opening down at the store, get your ass down there and you're set for life.

But if your pay scale is wildly outside of the "typical" scale for a C-store job, you likely need to advertise that because someone looking for a 25-30 dollar an hour job isn't thinking of their local gas station either. They advertise to get candidates that are worth 100k because 6 figure candidates probably aren't thinking of Buc-ees when looking for their next gig. The "no experience necessary" only covers the bottom tier positions, I suspect on purpose. Locally - it's a 13-17 an hour job here.

Shouldn't they be getting high test at the Chevron station?

Hello Sam. Great topic. I get $7K monthly from my retirement. Worked for Procter & Gamble since I was 18 YO until I was 59 1/2 YO. 41 1/2 years total & still a part time small farmer.
I get $1800. monthly from SS but pay $300. back monthly due to our combined income. Wife retired as a Registered Nurse in 2020 after 40+ years of service. She collects $1500. SS monthly. We are in the Marcellus Gas play and collect pretty good royalties also. We're living comfortably & help our family out with expenses when we can & help at the local food pantry in town 6 miles away. Good thing we have farmers like you to work your a$$ off to feed the world. Mehoopany ?

Jobs:
1967 I was 16 years old and made $1.51/ hour boxing groceries. I talked to every house wife as I put grocery bags in her car.
Lots of other jobs
2008 I was 57 years old and made [more than the average electrical engineer made in 2008] as a contract engineer at General Dynamics.
I used my table saw to build a kludged equipment rack to put in the luggage compartment of the Eclipse jet prototype. We were having back EMF sensed control loop trouble with the starter /generator in the Pratt Whitney jet engine. Working 24/7 we got the engine started at 4:00 a.m. at the Albuquerque airport.
Investing:
bought GOOG 2004
bought AMZN 2011
bought NVDA in june 2023

I've been able to live a life that far exceeded my wages.
Just breaks and associates and a hard drive to excell.
