once I had some experience I was in 6 figures with my OT (in the 1990s - double time past a certain amount of hours per week and triple time for holidays! With a base in the 50-60s you double your salary quickly with those kind of OT rates).
Worst job (and worst paying): working in the farmhouse for a "mom & pop" family farm. They grew cucumbers, had migrant workers come in to pick in the fields, shop folks to process everything, and I had to babysit for their 4 kids, make meals for at least 12 people twice a day. Plus laundry, keeping the house clean, etc. $1/hour. This was in the early 80s.
Best job out of the house: moved up to working as a nanny for very wealthy folks in the summers during college. Pay wasn't much better but I had a vehicle, the maid service cleaned my suite along with the rest of the house, and I hung out at the club and/or beach with the kids all summer.
Best job overall: right now I am home with my kids because my husband makes enough for both of us. Windows everywhere and I love hanging out with my dogs
