[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just reading in the nanny forums about a nanny who demands $61,000 per year.  I find this insulting on so many levels.  I made $38,500 per year in my first associate position out of law school.  The most I've ever made is $95k per year. Several of my friends who have grad degrees make between $65k-$100K per year.

Ok...i have never even completed my undergrad and make 240k/yr.

College clearly doesn't teach you how to be resourceful.

I would be so depressed if i spent as much time and effort in school as yourself and had a below average income years later to show for it.

I really wonder what went wrong for some of you people. Especially the poster up thread who went to Harvard, that is just incomprehensible.  Don't you all see opportunity? We're surrounded by it. What kind entrepreneurial skills did your parents teach you, if any? Were you expected to work as a young adult/teen? Ever have to just figure life out or was everything spoon fed to you?[/quote]

I went to college to learn to read, think and analyze, not to make money. I don't care if I ever make six figures.  Don't you ever wish you had at least completed a bachelor's degree? Plumbers and electricians and auto mechanics make great money but they are still blue collar, like you.[/quote]
I think a person who figured out how to make $240K without a college degree can think and analyze way better than you, a person who claims to be above making money (really, this means incapable).  I would much sooner have my daughter marry a man who had enough brains to make decent money than to a nitwit who claims to know how to think.  [/quote]
