[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something about this thread that pisses me off.  A BA in English Lit, probably from UVA, making 38K and 28.   At 31, I had a PhD in Physics, and was making 35K.  (granted a while ago).  Today, I make 5x that.

Guess what, entitled millennial, you have to work for your money.  You get paid what you are worth.  When you first start out, they pay entry level salaries because they to not know your capabilities.

As you prove your capabilities, you can move up.  If, after six years, you are still making the same salary, then look in the mirror.  Are you working hard?  Or coasting?  Are you adding value to the organization?  [/quote]

Yikes, get off your high horse. OP, a lot of times new grads and hires can't move up because there's a huge bloat of entitled older workers like this PP. If that's the case, you need to move on. You will never win against the "you entitled Millentials need to put in your time" crowd. Ageism in the academia / think tank world is real![/quote]
