Yeah I would like to do that too but I have no interest in working for $60k for the rest of my life.

60k pa for the rest of your life depends on where you currently live. Or, where you would like to move to for retirement.
especially when you can get the same $60k by getting two promotions at walmart (associate -> team lead -> coach)

I’m not sure where you live, but folks in the trades in CA move beyond $60k fairly quickly.

I realize that is partially because of CA, where full time fast food folks make $40k a year minimum, but many of the folks in trades that I know have really nice houses and cars.
