Why the hostility? Are people not allowed to talk about events happening now?
I mean, do you make a similar comment on all the articles you read?
"Oh thanks a lot ENCODE for telling us that 80 percent of the genome had a biochemical function. I didn't know we were going to repeat stuff that everybody new in 2012."??
- vacri 9y agoThe hostility is because it's ridiculously obvious that moving from a minimum-wage job to a run-of-the-mill professional job is going to net you an incredible percentage increase in salary, especially in the US where the minimum wage is a joke. And where is the 'events happening now' in what I said? Job-hopping? Not exactly a new thing. > I mean, do you make a similar comment on all the articles you read? So... I can't be rhetorical to call out bad behaviour, but it's okay for you to do so. Nice work.
- jpatokal 9y agoThe person was working as a marketing manager in her first job, so it was a "a run-of-the-mill professional job" from day one, and she's still in marketing, only with 5x more salary. Then again, her first job was at YMCA, and non-profits tend to have low salaries.
- lostboys67 9y agoBut 8$ an hour is burger flipper wages and by definition professional jobs are salaried not hourly paid
- vacri 9y agoSince when is an $8/hour professional job 'run-of-the-mill'? Are you seriously saying that that is a typical example of a professional?
- justadeveloper2 9y agoIt was a dumb example, that's all. In 2005, I went from being a state employee to a contractor and doubled my pay that year. Is that relevant, though?
