The city where I live has a higher col then the surrounding rural areas. Our living wage is $15.34 and poverty wage is $6.35 I don’t have a report for the surrounding areas but my gut says somewhere around $10/$5.

In the US you have to get paid 1.5x for hours over 40. $30/2.5/1.5 = $8. And thats assuming no paycheck deductions such as tax, healthcare, alimony, etc

Thats $8/hr even. Pretty standard for retail jobs where I live.

They are a TikTok creator so I would assume by editor they mean a video editor and not a script editor or a code editor. Although my first guess for vs was Visual Studio it looks like there is a video editing app called Video Star and then it would follow that AE is Adobe After Effects
