One thing you should all realize is that comparing dollars per hour won't give you a very good measure where you can "rank" yourself. Salary is only one factor you have to consider in every situation, the others being things like living costs, location, transportation costs, etc...

For example, if you make 25$ an hour at one job but you can walk to work in 10 minutes, or you can make 35$ an hour at another job, but you have to drive for an hour each way, which person is actually making more money? I'd argue that after taking travel time and various costs such as gas, car maintenance and increased insurance costs, they probably make around the same.

Another example, one person making $50k a year, but they're living costs is around $2k a month compared to someone making 100k a year who's living costs are $4k a month...

I could make much more money if I moved, but I love where I live (Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada).
