The median income for a working age male is close to $45k, so by comparison $52k isn't too bad. In this economic climate, you could do alot worse.
Is 25$/hr a good wage?

Only pointing out some stats for context friend, not trying to make any value judgements here.papasmerf said:
As a selfemployed person I've had to reduce my rate to pretty close to that just to garner some business. Things have dried up worse than the sahara this year. I'm normally running ragged at this time of year but I've been getting didly.
I don't care who you are, a single guy making $25.00 an hour is a very decent wage. I mean hell, if you have too much responsibility you could get a job as a GC, a TTC Cleaner, or any other unskilled union job for the same rate plus a shit load more benefits.

$52K is nothing to sneeze at but it depends of course on what your market value is. Do you have a degree or professional designation? How experienced are you in your field? For a guy like me who's a professional accountant with 10+ years of industry experience that salary level is an insult. But to a guy who has an BA English and 3 years experience as an ESL instructor, its probably a good salary.
Wages are 100% dependant on what you area asked to do for it. For example - Air Traffic controller, very high stress, screw up and hundreds die... 52K would suck for that kind of responsibility/stress. 52K to trim trees in a municipal park...that is GOOD MONEY....

, not that that means anything, we just have to write another test and pay about 600$ after all the fees, plus an extra 500 if you take the pre exam, it's with a new company so my prior experience doesn't matter squat to them, I'm just the new shmuk.

Currently my package is close to twice that
262 paid days (inclusive of Stat days and vacation no missed days) @ 7.5 hr/day would equate to $49,125. The take home would be in the high $30K's. It's decent but would be tight. Especially if you are a frequent hobbyist.
It's average. It's enough to pay your rent, car loans and get by, but not enough to live life large. In the United States, it's considered to be the average american salary. However, people always strive to make more, in the $100k range. You always hear commericals saying if your making $52k or less per year, you should be doing more to make more money.
It's a poor wage if you work hard. It's OK if you arent ambitious and prefer to take life easy. It won't pay the mortgage. It will pay the rent.
Tough question, as all have stated depends if you are single etc.
I always though Terb members are in the 6 digit numbers (with a few exceptions). To pay a mortgage, car loan, insurance, vacations, etc etc.... PLUS THE HOBBY. No way will it be enough.

You've got to be joking. Less than 10% of all working adults in Canada make more than $100K per year. I saw the thread where the poster asked what Terbites made per year, alot said over $100K. I find that hard to believe. My guess would be less than 20% of this board's members make that kind of coin. I have a professional designation and I don't.beenthere123 said:
