Paris Taylor took to the social media app TikTok to shed light on what she brings home in the average 7-day period. The week she documented, she earned an astonishing $3500.
On Monday, she worked 9.5 hours to make $680 for the day, while on Tuesday she worked an hour less to bring home $100 less.
Paris said on Wednesday – her biggest day of the week – she worked 10.5 hours to bring home just under $800.
She matched that workload and pay packet on the Thursday.
On her final working day of the week, she worked 8.5 hours to bring home $580.
Paris added the course to become qualified as a traffic controller only takes a day, as all you need is to do courses for traffic controlling and a white card.
“You’ll get a job easily,” she said.

Another added: “I would stand out in 30 degree weather for this type of money.”
One said: “Not me always thinking about doing this and then this coming up.”
“No dramas until there’s no work for six months. Not a stable job,” another said.
