[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is the "comparison is the thief of joy" person when we need them? I love it when that person posts. I guess I will be that person. Advice: Comparison is the thief of joy. I know it feels like people at your elite college all make more, but they don't. I can assure you. [b]I know plenty of Harvard and Yale and other elite graduates in government, academia, the arts, journalism, etc. They lead fulfilling lives and contribute greatly to society and are able to live comfortably. [/b]But they aren't making $200K+ a year. If you are in a career where you are making a contribution (either to society, your own wealth, or both), you have not squandered anything. [/quote] I also know Ivy grads in these careers. They are disproportionately from well-off backgrounds. The few middle/low-income Ivy students I know who went into these fields are bitter and resentful. [/quote]
