What do the high income people in DC do or is it really more that DC just isn't in the same league as NYC, LA, and SF? A few people mentioned that on school threads. The lawyers and doctors don't seem to make quite as much here as in those places and other jobs seem to pay far lower here based on these threads.

I agree. Obviously that would be funded by tax increases.

Wow! I left museums because I was getting 40-60k offers (curatorial), but I now only make 103k as a fed. Just feel like I'm doing it wrong at every turn.
