In N Out Burger managers make 6 figures a year. The ones in the Northern California area make a bit more since the cost of living is more expensive there. But \*\*\*\*… that’s a pretty stingy offer for such a demanding skillset. And you start at 7 in the morning! Aww hell no! ---

It is a pain to start that early… but that’s okay, since you can’t afford to rent an apt. in San Francicso, you’ll be sleeping in the lab anyway… This school charges $40k/yr for tuition… insane. Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---
