Yeah it's more than I make too at my desk job. But I guarantee the full cost of your compensation package is much more. I'm guaranteed 40 hours a week, paid vacation, holidays, sick leave, medical, dental, vision and a bunch of other things and I'm not risking my neck or dealing with nearly the unique hassles as I did remodeling or handyman stuff.Yep, $50 an hour is $2000 a week @ 8 hours a day. More than I currently make as an IT engineer. A bit tough to swallow for an old cheapskate.
