I’m curious what the distinction is. I assume that the article isn’t just a complete fabrication, but maybe they highlight the 20 best stories and everything else is meh.

Kinda like saying you should go to code school because you can land a 175k/year entry level job at Google. Technically true.

P-hacking is allowed and encouraged outside physical science where getting stats of medicine and building a bridge wrong have obvious side effect

News media will whittle down their data set to get a result that only matters where cost of living is high, and there’s a tiny number of the workers overall.

That’s my take.

Yea, welding offshore/underwater pays very well. Food-grade welding a bit less. Both have fairly miserable working conditions, are hard on your body, have some amount of danger, typically require lots of OT to make the claimed income, and unless you’re union, with mediocre benefits.

Great job for those who enjoy that type of work and/or want to hustle and save then move on. But any claim that it’s easy money or typicsl is just wrong.
