I labored for a masonary company straight out of high school for less than 1/2 that amount. Leaving the house at 3:30 am and getting home at 7pm on the jobs that were not local.
12" blocks and bond beams, pouring concrete out of 5 gallon buckets. That job had no benefits, I purchased my own health insurance and got by just fine.
Great story. I worked for a moving company with similar hours. Didn't get paid overtime. I didn't get by just fine at all - oh and I also attended school at the same time.
