Considering the dollar is becoming more worthless by the month...well..
That's entirely understandable, but for someone in their mid-20s looking to get ahead, it's incredibly lucrative and attractive, despite the taxes being taken out. If I had the chance to work 60 hours a week and bring in $60,000 after a year or so, I'd definitely do it.
That comes out to about 19 bucks an hour...After taxes, your 60k is now 44k or less.
