Do crane operators REALLY make $90 an hour??
Asked by Shakespeare, William
I want to become a crane operator now.

Best Answer:
Maybe if you have a good union. I found non-union states like Arizona always pay less than the supposed rate. It is a skill, and it pays more than McDonalds, but I haven't heard that figure before. However I checked one of those Salary.com things, and found hairdressers making six figures! Maybe some of the top ones, but I don't see it happening to mr average. If you want a lot of easy money with no real skills, become a life coach. It's like an unlicensed psychiatrist who charges much, much more.

depends if the crane is on the moon or not

If you are working on a project for Bill Gates or Oprah! then that may be a realistic wage.
