Plumbers make more than software developers?
I know some blue collars, plumbers included that are doing really well in the grand scheme of things, but I don't know any that make more than I do, and I'm 20 years younger than them.

When was that? What technology? That's easily the highest rate I've ever heard of.
People tend to think the crazy numbers were a byproduct of the internet bubble but the biggest factor was due diligence: certain big clients had to choose a Big 5 firm for their projects based on requirements such as, minimum number of employees, minimum years in business, minimum assets, etc. The whole racket was absurd, if you ask me.
But on the other hand, my rent is $500/mo, and they have mortgages and families.
Media overestimates how good the blue-collar middle class are doing sometimes (and other groups, when/if they're employed) thanks to wonky calculus like you've mentioned.
