| > Ironic, given you started with none. You said nurses don't make good money. I think 100k is good money. Better money than most people in the banking and legal industries make, that's for sure. > The income of Cargill offset by costs is not 114 billion. That's just gross. It has a fraction of that income as opposed to the incomparable bank nets. Cargill has higher revenues than the largest bank in America. Cargill has larger assets than most US banks. Cargill had higher profits last year/quarter than most US banks, even big household names. You "guessed" that wasn't the case. You were wrong. >> Wait. This is literally exactly the point I was trying to make in my original comment. > You failed and started with talking about how blue collar workers are fine and comparisons to white collar management is unfair, which is frustratingly disingenuous. Good luck with whatever. The word management wasn't even mentioned once in my original post. I mentioned banking and law. What I was pointing out was that low-paying jobs exist in every industry, and there are plenty of people in nominally low-paying industries who do very well (e.g., nurses RN and up) as well as many people in nominally high-paying industries who do not (e.g., bank tellers, low-level financial advisors, accountants). (BTW, you should consider re-reading the end of the article that we're discussing. The conclusion to that article is quite literally that the exemplar discussed by the article -- NYC garbagemen -- are doing fine. So fine that people who get the job feel like they won the lottery.) |
