It's not mine. I'm asking for a friend...
Note: no paid vacation, or time off, but you can choose to take weeks off without consequence or risk of being fired.
Anyone with working knowledge of a calculator knows that's a good income.

I have always wondered what I would pay someone $50 hr to do for me. I can't think of a thing unless I had to pay a private nurse or doctor out of pocket and it better be for a good reason at that. Car mechanics don't get paid that but the garage they work in will charge it to cover overhead.
I earned a very good salary working in the space industry and watched salaries go up to ridiculous levels. I knew it would all fall apart one day and shazzam!...it did. Glad I was retired and out.

Funny you should mention a nurse....I know RN's who are working home health, making this kind of money (and better) HOWEVER, when you add in all the "out of pocket" expenses, it really LOOKS good, but your take home salary is GREATLY reduced....wear and tear on your car, gas, insurance based on mileage, "visits" considered to take X amt of time (where it might actually take twice as long as the "booked" time), required notes and documentation afterwards, not to mention "tax rates" which if you are considered "self employed" is HUGE. If you LOOK at it you will get told you "make" X amt per visit, and when you multiply that X "Y visits per day" it APPEARS you are making (taking home in pay) MUCH more than actually are after expenses. It is MORE about "how much does it COST you vs how much you make" that helps you realize the "bottom line take home" that counts.
Maybe it's a "Earn up to $400 day!" commissions job.
My thoughts exactly.
Are you from outside the US, OP? If not, and yet you still lack the ability to calculate yearly income and put it in perspective, my guess is that you're ripe for falling into a scam. A scam or a commissions-based sales job.
Did this employer mention the hours your friend would be working?
$400 week is only ~$21,000/year. Yes, most people make more than that.
read the op.
