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.
A lot of self employed people also get paid mileage to cover those expenses.
When I was self employed any work related driving was paid at 63 cents per mile and $50/hr. My current job was 55 cents an hr when I was hourly and now I get a solid truck allowance and gas card.
My tax amounts at the end of the year were around 5% more than being employed by a company.
Also don't forget being self employed you can also write off a ton more expenses.
I'm calling BS, a misunderstanding, or a major catch with this job. $400 a day? Doing what? For how many hours per day?
Anyone who can make that much per day, and has to ask if that's good money......
My ex SIL used to make $400 a day as an interpreter for Japanese businessmen doing business in the US. She also went to Japan for the same job, paid the same wage PLUS travel and lodging/food expenses. They even paid for her two kids to go with her.
You're right about the OP though. It doesn't take much to figure out what is and isn't "good money".
Seriously, how the hell can I make 400 a day, legally?
