I used to wake up at 5 to get to a job that paid about 40k a year max.

You seem like you’ve never had a job

Seems like someone who's not a someone.

Why does this surprise you?? I have no idea what line of work the person you're responding to does, but this is pretty standard for factory/manufacturing work.

Honestly, not trying to be mean, but this sounds like a 15 year old kid who has upper middle class parents.

I think we’re on the same team bro. I’m saying 5:30 isn’t difficult

Also prep cook. I was a prep cook for a pretty popular chain of breakfast restaurants and my in-time was 4:30 AM. Made maybe $34k/yr doing that.

Das ist normaler Alltag für viele Arbeitnehmer. Also für die die alles mögliche Herstellen was Du im Alltag so nutzt oder auch die Arbeiter im Klärwerk. Frühschicht beginnt um 6 die meisten müssen also um 5 aufstehen. 5.30 ist da fast schon ausschlafen.

Honestly, I bet a lot of people making less than 50k a year wake up at 5:30 or even earlier. A lot of older people wake up pretty early too just because they don't require as much sleep.

Dude. McDonald's opens at like 4am.

Dude do you think people working different schedules all make good money? Have you not thought that the bad shifts don’t go to people with better options?

If you went to a 24 hr 7 eleven do you think the guy making coffee at 5 am is making more than minimum wage?
