[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem like you've had your head buried in the sand. Taking care of small children is hard.[/quote] OP here. No one's saying taking care of kids is easy. But if I recall correctly, the median income for PhD holders nationwide is also around $100K, so it's crazy to me that someone with no training or experience can just wake up one day and start earning that. DCUM seems to live in a bubble where everyone is a $300K/year lawyer and doesn't realize that $100K is actually a hell of a lot of money.[/quote] You seem surprised about how supply and demand works. Also, median salary goes down in many fields from Masters to PhD, as the PhDs tend to end up in academia (lower pay) while the masters can't get hired there so they go into private industry (higher $$) Our nanny (5 years ago) made $70k/year + benefits. It was her vocation. She did laundry and dishes, but only for the kids' items.[/quote]
