        Yeah that’s a bad assembly line job in a low cost of living part of America. Non union. Like bad enough you need a roommate

        PPP is different depending on countries. He is living in India. So, 45k INR a week is great in India and will very easily make rent for him here.

          After a quick search, a dollar goes ~4x further there, so it’s closer to $50/hr. But these are likely one-time sales, and replicating that to anyone other than close contacts is unlikely.

          Whether this is a good ROI depends on how long it took to make and sell the product and how many sales it can get. If it took him a month to make the product and these 8 sales are the only sales he’ll get, that’s still pretty bad by Indian standards.
