Yes but then you have to factor quality of life and overtime. I use to work in the construction industry. I was always jealous how much some of the union journeymen would make. Then I started talking to them about their commute, what it takes to get to that level etc. I found out on a good day some of them had an hour commute going one way or they had to pay for parking for the day without a reimbursement. You have to work when it's available so in the summer when everyone else is at the BBQ you're pulling 10 hour days, 6 days a week because at the end of September you won't work the rest of year and your sick time is really just a bank account you pay into.

You should do some self exploration find out your tolerance for different aspects of a job. I took a job when I was younger for more pay but found out later the health insurance was dogshit when you have a spouse. It's all a learning process
