Im thinking that might be darn generous for status 0 TL8. This is the Manager of a mid scale restaurant, the branch manager of a bank, the guy who keeps books for 4-5 mom and pop stores, a self employed starting plumber, a paramedic, a hair stylist, a mechanic. All of these jobs are worthwhile and necessary for society to function, but there is no "Status" in them. They are good jobs, just not anything "special".

If I recall correctly, one of the books (possibly Low-Tech) notes that a Status-0 Freeman is actually a cut above most of the population in many eras when being unfree was actually the norm … unless you're in a really primitive society in which case market economics take something of a backseat anyway.
