I was doing the accounting assistant a couple years ago, crap job probably 25k, one day she told me she was contemplating becoming a stripper, but not sure if it was for extra income or kicks…knowing her it was for the kicks. I was supportive of her goal, of course.
Asian chick?
I made a rare exception to my qualifying standards for her, tall slinky freckled red head!
Nice. I think conservative-Asian-assistant-turned-stripper would’ve made for a better story though.
True that, she could make spreadsheets and pocket protectors part of the performance.
Just to make sure I got this right - you would prefer sexual activity that involves spreadsheets? That’s either really kinky, or weird…mostly weird. purealpha Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > True that, she could make spreadsheets and pocket > protectors part of the performance.
Props are fine with me but you gotta have the raw talent too.
I see, so it’s the working experience in excel that does the trick for you aye? To each their own. purealpha Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Props are fine with me but you gotta have the raw > talent too.
I’d rather make less money at a job I loved, than twice the amount for a job that I dreaded going to every morning. Life is too short. At the same time, if you’re going to be miserable at a $25k/yr job, you might as well be miserable at a $125k/yr job. Benefits do make a huge difference, and if you don’t take them into account, you’re just short changing yourself. maybe she had a husband who was self employed and brought in more cash, while she provided benefits such as health insurance for the family. Doing analysis on an hourly basis instead of annual salary basis will take such things as working 2 days/week into account. Bankers that make $150k/yr right out of grad school, but work 80 hr weeks make the same per hour as someone who got a $75k/yr job. and work normal hours.
^This is a silly post. I find that it’s usually lowly paid people who assume that people who make a lot of money must work long hours and hate life. It’s also lowly paid people who assume that “benefits” have some magical value that outweigh real, hard cash. I’m sure most people on this forum can afford to buy all those special “benefits” and still have money left over to spend on real things in retirement while low income people are busy working until they drop dead to pay the bills.

I also find it silly that people like to justify low incomes by converting into hourly rates. Working 40 hour weeks making 75K is not equivalent to working 80 hour weeks making 150K. The person making 150K will save money faster, be able to provide more for a family, retire earlier, and will have a higher base compensation to springboard from in future jobs.
I agree with the “per hour” assessment… JTLD?

I think nolabird is female.
JTLD - part of ‘providing for your family’ is actually being there for them, though.

At the same time, if you’re going to be miserable at a $25k/yr job, you might as well be miserable at a $125k/yr job. not everyone that makes a lot of money is miserable. not everyone who makes not much money is miserable either. if you’re going to be miserable, i’d rather make more money than less, but i’m not implying there is a correlation between the two. even if there was a correlation, we all know that correlation <> causation. > It’s also lowly paid people who assume that > “benefits” have some magical value that outweigh > real, hard cash. It’s not that hard to figure out… benefits do cost companies $$. so benefits aren’t worthless and they do have value. just ask anyone in the hospital who doesn’t have health insurance. or someone (like me) whose husband went through months of radiation treatments. benefits are valuable… some more than others. i’m by no mean a BSD, but make enough to live a decent lifestyle, and if someone offered me a job without any benefits, but twice my salary, i’d go out and figure out how much it would cost to make up for the lack of benefits. have you ever researched how much non-employer provided health insurance is? generally speaking, companies (especially large companies) are able to work out much better deals with insurance companies than you’re able to do on your own. I’m sure most people on this > forum can afford to buy all those special > “benefits” and still have money left over Something tells me that you’re overestimating the average AF poster. to spend > on real things in retirement while low income > people are busy working until they drop dead to > pay the bills. benefits also include matching on your 401k, life insurance etc. All these are valuable and even quantifiable. I took a little hiatus from AF, but just out of curiosity… how old are you and how many jobs have you had (post college)?

Somehow I don’t think Bill Gates or Barack Obama have any problem “being there for their families.” Somehow I think they have an easier time “being there for their families” than someone who is working for $25K a year until they’re 80 years old because they assumed that more money = more misery. Like I said, the people who come to this conclusion are usually the people who don’t have the money or the means of making it.
