This is what the work pays, not what you will earn. Two things stand between the two: you have to be accepted, and you have to be matched to a project. Both take time and neither is guaranteed.
Most projects also cap weekly hours, so the high end of the slider is optimistic for a single platform. People who work more hours usually do it across two or three.
Nobody can promise you placement, and this site never will.
