I was working fast food as a salaried manager and was getting paid $50k a year to work like 50-60 hours per week if I tried to cut everything short. At one point the government almost made it so that salaried employees getting paid less than $40k/yr would be eligible for overtime but it didn’t happen and I was so bummed out. If they’re making it so that position would have to be paid overtime then that might be an even better option than using my IT degree.
