[quote=Anonymous]Been having similar thoughts lately OP. I do think reading DCUM gives one a skewed perspective on how much money most people make. The median earnings for people with advanced degrees in the DC area is just over $100k. From reading DCUM you would think those are poverty wages lol But I definitely feel that sense of regret that I did not plan better. I remember when I was in high school I thought wanting to make money was a bad thing. Now it's clear that everyone needs to make money. And my "public service" job isn't exactly saving the world every day, so yeah if I could go back I might chase the money a little more. That being said, I do appreciate that I can pick up my child from daycare at 4:30 and actually spend time with her, while making a decent six-figure salary while not making Jeff Bezos richer. So I try to remind myself that the grass is not always greener.[/quote]
