You are a shit welder if you're only making $41k

Same for plumbers.

My brother followed my footsteps and went to a 6 month massage school. He's on his first year and is working at a low-end Spa and he's still going to break $40k this year (he has no college, no full time experience, and only works like 22 hours a week)

Massage isn't bad if you live in a highly populated area. Easier to make initial money then any of the cosmetology modalities (Hair, Nails, and Facials).

I mean depends on what you define as regular. All the people anywhere near the bottom level of the economy aren't making 50k. I worked a ton of overtime this year and won't hit 50k

I'm a knucklehead, so to me it is any job that doesn't require a college education.

Yeah there's tons and tons of those where you won't hit 50k. And many of the ones you will hit 50+k in are trades, which aren't unskilled labor
