Network engineer
I'm 31
$35/hour, which translates to a bit over $72k annually... I get overtime, too, so I'll probably end up in the low 80s as far as gross income goes.

It'd be easy for me to move out of the bay, but the thing is, I have a lot of family here and some of them depend on me to take care of them so I'm sort of stuck here.
