[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post hits home! I’ve find it really hard to mentor students. I totally understand wanting to do fulfilling work. I like my job. It’s good work and I help people. AND, I like that I can afford to make 3-4 international vacations a year and enjoy fine dining etc.

I make $187k + bonus (single. No kids and I’m 38). Along the way, I took some jobs that were not great, but gave me skills I need to keep progressing. Those jobs (ie budget analyst) sucked, but I chose to see the positive and knew it was just a stop along the way.

My sister refused to “sell her soul.” She make $60k with a kid and struggles. She can’t do ANYTHING. Even a pedicure is a tough spend for her.  She has to go on a 18 month payment plan for a 4 day vacation at some 3 star resort in the Bahamas or our dad pays. More often than not, dad pays.

Just curious, what is your job and what has your career path looked like? Also, just curious, [b]why do you need a high paying job if you don’t have any kids?[/b] [/quote]

NP here.  So if you do not have kids, you should just take some low-paying job?  That suggestion does not make sense.  If PP is capable and motivated, she should make as much as she can.  [/quote]
