At 17 bucks an hour, to make 100k would require your 2000 hours of work at 17, bringing you to 34k. Then you would need to work 2,588 hours at 25.5 to make the additional 66k.
If the above is accurate, then either they lied to you about those guys' gross wages, or those guys are averaging 4,588 hour work years and headed to an early grave.
Let's say they are earning 20 per. That's 40k in skr8t time, and 60k at OT - 30bucks an hour. You're STILL looking at a 4,000 hour year.

That top-tier hourly wage of $39 amounts to just over $81,000 annually, but dockworkers can make significantly more by taking on extra shifts. For example, according to a 2019-20 annual report from the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, about one-third of local longshoremen made $200,000 or more a year.
