[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To some degree having wealth enables people to pursue passion projects that otherwise don’t pay well. I worked at a nonprofit when I first moved to DC. I made less than $30k (albeit over 20 years ago) and just managed to scrape by but I needed to get my parents to co-sign my lease. I’m not the level of wealthy you’re describing, but I definitely had a safety net. [/quote] +1. This. Many nonprofits don’t pay well but the work is interesting and rewarding. Why wouldn’t rich kids choose that if money is no object. Similarly you see more rich people working at museums, in publishing, and in entertainment. Entry level pay is low and often involves unpaid internships which many kids with student loans can’t stomach [/quote]
