one year only and it was in 1995. It went down from there because lines were counted differently. I made the $68K on gross lines and that was just 60 spaces on the line, 10-pitch courier.
Now, as a QA manager I made over $60K and other positions in the field paid me over $50K, but these were not 8 hours a day...more like 24/7.
I doubt I could make much today doing MT as I have moved into other areas of it, but I might be able to do $23-25 an hr if I did the 300 lph I did back in 2003. Believe me though, you really have to know pretty much everything to make that money and know how to spell on first shot, etc. It takes a long time to get to that point, more than 5 or 6 years of MT experience. This field is moving backwards for the MT unfortunately and I feel so badly for anyone coming into our field unless their aspirations are for management/mentoring, etc.
