Not bad scratch if you can get it.
Ha! I haven't worked for as little as $20 an hour in almost 30 years. And yes I know you're trolling...still funny.
Don't tell me you're up to $25/hour. Good job.
You already said what your profession was, what you did in your profession, and what industry you are in. It's not too hard to figure out what your income would be.
Keep livin' the dream, bro.

Yep. Software trainer.
I realize you are trolling me, but I don't do any software training at all. But, if it makes you feel good about yourself to call me a software trainer, fine by me. My clients pay me a set fee no matter what I do for them, so if they wanted me to come in and teach a class, I would consider it as I used to do that 20+ years ago, but they would be foolish to pay me my fee for that as they can actually hire a software trainer for much less. They would also have to pay me for the development of class materials, and that's just way too much money to pay me for that. Actually, come to think of it, I probably would decide to teach a software class these days. Too much of a hassle to get it all set up properly, and I'm about lessening my work these days, not creating more.
Sounds more like a software tester. Not quite QA, but along those lines. Testing after the system has been customized for the client.

Back when I started out on my own, I would be happy with a comment like that...keeps more people from doing what I do and honing in on my business. Today though, when I no longer need the income and am looking to pare down my work load eventually to nothing over the next 3-5 years, I say, "ha!"
$25 an hour?! That is $52,000 a year if you work 52 weeks a year! People who are employed by manufacturing software companies with a little experience in QA and other type jobs that I do for my clients make twice that in salary not including benefits, and independent Business Consultants who know what they're doing do better than that. Ha ha ha!
1993 called. It wants its salary back.

Part of what I do...QAing new functionality created by Business Partners. Any other testing I do is only as a means to an end, and that is to appropriately recommend to my clients what software they should buy that best conforms to their business, and if their business model is bad, I help them see that and help them with a new path.

This whole discussion is absurd. Anyone who thinks you can simply google a salary figure for a two word profession description and have any useful information is an absolute idiot.
I know business consultants who charge $35/hr. I know other business consultants who charge $5,000/hr. Your $71k/yr figure provides zero information regarding what Flagpole makes.
More importantly, what Flagpole makes is 100% irrelevant to the thread topic.

What’s happened to the YUGE wage increases promised by Trump?
Rocket fuel TrumpCONomy is a CON job.
The US Labor Department reported, that for Q2 between 2017 and 2018, the real wages (inflation adjusted) of Americans declined. Q2 of 2018 was the 3rd straight quarter―all during the Trump administration―when inflation outpaced wage growth.
The last time wages grew substantially above inflation was in 2016, during the Obama administration.

This is how the average American thinks of "the economy":
Can I buy more stuff now than before?
Most Americans have not increased their purchasing power in this economy.
That's why the good economic news doesn't translate to higher approval ratings and won't help with voters.
The social issues and temperament of the president are more influential.

It does have something to do with this topic. If the 'pubs decide to raise the minimum wage, Flagpole will get a raise.

If the people want answers and I feel like answering, I will. I do that at my whim at all times regardless of what anyone else tells me to do...just evidence that I surely don't post here for anyone's acceptance. I neither need nor want any acceptance from any of you. Blame the question askers if you don't like the direction.
What a bunch of ICEholes. Children CANNOT legal sign anything.
