Are you all really paying $30 an hour for a good nanny?

And I know plenty of people with law degrees or other advanced degrees who make less than $60k/year. So, yeah. Why is one ok but not the other?

It’s not OK. Your “friends” are EXTREME underachievers.

And by the way, I’m not sure why friends are in quotes. These are the loveliest, most caring people I know, even if they aren’t particularly ambitious. MUCH nicer than the tools I met in law school and at firms here in DC. Just sayin’

Because I don’t believe you know that many adults with degrees still making $40k that many years out of school. Sorry.

I mean, I can easily rattle off 5 positions that my friends have right now that pay in the $40-45k range. Administrative assistant, payroll software implementation specialist, event planner, copy editor, and marketing analyst. But I guess since your friend group is comprised of only high wage earners I must be lying! I’m not even sure what purpose would be served by lying about this, but oh well.
