I'm the PP whose husband works there after having worked at the WEF. We are not Americans and I am honestly surprised folks who live in DC have no idea it is considered a very elite place to live.

Huh. Feeling bad you aren't getting the respect you feel you deserve?[/quote]

At the risk of sounding extremely condescending, we are definitely getting the respect we deserve in the circles that matter. And by we I mean my husband since I am just a tag along spouse who is unable to have a career. A bitter pill to swallow but that's a whole other can of worms. [/quote]

I'm the PP who asked the previous question about why was the reason jobs were in such high demand. I'm not sure why you'd be surprised that someone in a non banking or economics field would not necessarily know about the greatness that is the World Bank. 
And most people haven't answered my question. There are plenty of other jobs that seem glamorous that really aren't. I was just asking if that was really the case.

But I suppose impressing people in your "circle" is a good a reason as any to get or keep a job.

And there wasn't really any risk in your statement. You knew you were going to be condescending. It's come through on your previous posts.

It amazes me that someone could be so smug about a job that someone else has....[/quote]
