Salaries are awkward. I personally believe someone who collects the municipal garbage should make more than someone who sits in an office all day and solves logic puzzles. Because I wouldn't want to do it.


You'd probably be amazed to know how many smart people wouldn't want to sit in an office all day and solve logic puzzles.


i agree. waste management of all kinds is huge


Yeah, anyone who is paid well enough for something they enjoy is certainly fortunate.

OTOH, there are people who would be driven crazy by sitting in an office all day and wouldn't do it, even for more pay.
