[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have also become aware that there are lots of jobs that sound really impressive but actually don’t pay that well at all. Directors of museums, historic homes, university librarians, heads of art galleries, curators, head of fundraising for a symphony. Director of a prestigious private school,  head of a think tank, or a prestigious center at a university.

I remember initially meeting a lot of people in DC who had what I considered high powered jobs and in some cases looking them up to find that they pay peanuts. [/quote]

Because they have very different values than you.

Not everyone is primarily motivated by money (and many of us have minimal respect for those who are…)[/quote]

Many of us have minimal respect for people who don’t realize that most people need their salaries to pay their bills. [/quote]

Uh, my spouse and I work in those fields, our combined income is under 200k, and we very much need our salaries to pay our bills! No trust funds here.

You probably wouldn't respect us because we live in not the best zip code in MD on those salaries though. I'm sure you'd find a way to make it about how we don't love our children enough to give them the best opportunities or whatever. [/quote]
