Let’s say there’s an in-demand, best-in-the-league kind of SP. How much would she realistically be earning on average? Is it actually possible for an SP to consistently earn upwards of $20K per month, month after month?
I tried to crunch the numbers, but something doesn’t quite add up.
For example, let’s assume a highly sought-after SP is working through an agency at $400/hour:
- 8-hour shift per day: 8 × $400 = $3,200
- Agency cut at 30%: $960
- SP’s take-home: $2,240 per shift
- 10 shifts per month (which already seems quite high to me): 10 × $2,240 = $22,400
I can understand how an SP could make that kind of money for a few initial months, especially when she’s new and in high demand. But what I’m struggling to understand is whether someone can realistically sustain that level of income consistently for years.
Is my math missing something, or am I underestimating the number of hours/shifts an SP would actually be able to maintain over the long term?
