[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So people with money shouldn’t do hard work? Seems like we women  routinely get slammed on here when we don’t work because we have plenty of money. Another double standard. [/quote]

I haven't seen anyone on here being prescriptive - saying you should or shouldn't work - just descriptive. In other words, these are professions that people who don't *need* to earn money are free to do. They are jobs that feel meaningful and are enjoyable, as opposed to jobs that simply give you enough of a salary to support your family. Glamour jobs, in other words - working in film, being a writer (that's what I do, even though I don't have family money to rely on), etc. Basically any job you hear about that sounds really flexible and fun and personally fulfilling, will tend to pay little - so if you meet someone who has one of those jobs, and also lives in a very nice house and takes expensive vacations, you can guess that someone else is paying their bills.[/quote]

I understand that. I was replying to the poster who called a Biglaw Trusty an idiot. It was stated that choosing education and a hard profession should mean that those people have their money "taken away" and given to someone who would use it. Yet, if people "use it" and enjoy their money others call them lazy or entitled. Its another can't win situation, which is why in real life no one knows I have a trust fund. So much judgment about how others should live. [/quote]
