How much do you really make?

I see people who work in instrumentation post online that they make $100k+ all the time. Is that really the case?

It’s very confusing because I’ll look at salary websites & the numbers are usually in the 40-60k range. Usually $29-$40 an hour. Sometimes even lower.

People will post online saying they make $40 and hour, 4/10s, don’t have to do OT and get over 100k. How? That comes out to $83,200. Also had a friend of an acquaintance tell me he makes 200k on 4/10s in instrumentation. Are these people full of it? What are people in instrumentation REALLY making a year? Thanks.
