[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if more income means you work harder per se. I'm a fed gov attorney and I presumably make a lot more than our building's cleaning people, but every time I see them, they're busy emptying trash, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, etc. That seems like much harder work than my somewhat repetitive knowledge job that involves drafting a lot of documents on a computer. People who make more money often had advantages when they were younger, parents who encouraged educational opportunities, or possibly just even have the drive to seek out career opportunities that pay more. I agree it's disappointing how far a supposedly high income gets you nowadays, but I would never say I work harder than cleaning people, teachers, nonprofit workers, etc. who may make less than me.[/quote]
