[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a P&L owner for a big Fortune 500. I make nearly $1M a year. Not bragging but pointing out to say that it isn’t the case you can’t have both. [/quote] In this country it's much more common for people to work 12-15 hour days to barely clear $50k a year. So go with your bullsh*t idea that balance AND wealth go together. I hope you are donating $500k a year to charities.[/quote] I realize it’s more common. I’m not a dolt. I’m just saying it isn’t the case you can’t have both. Let’s say my salary was $200K - still great by almost any standard - would you have so much hate? Would you still dismiss it as unachievable and stupid? Or is that now close enough to normal salaries that it becomes interesting? The reason I ask is I have a LOT of friends who make that kind of money AND come home at 5pm. I’d venture I could name probably a hundred or more people if I had access to my LinkedIn. But of course, even $200K is a lot of money - so if the point is to try and find a world view where anyone can find such a job, then you are right it’s not possible. But I also don’t think DCUM represents (anywhere near) the US average worker, so I’m not trying to give advice to the waitress working part time at shoneys here, I’m suggesting something a group that’s likely already in the top 5%, 90% of which probably have a bachelors and I’d bet half have a masters or better. All that said, yes the US system is screwed up.[/quote]
