They’re getting like a $5 an hour raise every year for 6 years and after six yours they hit their salary cap. Their cap is $131,000. Even 6 years from now that’s still really good money.

Depending on location, that’s really good money. Where I live i would be ecstatic to make that kind of money. Unfortunately the big docks are in big cities where money doesn’t go nearly as far.

There’s almost no place in the US where $130k isn’t good money.

NYC and LA are probably the two areas in the US where 130k is borderline livable considering the cost of living there. For anywhere else 130k is fantastic.
