seems little for a lifetime of unemployment
- lmm 9y agoFor comparison, average lifetime earnings in the US for someone with a degree are $1.8 million.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoAre you kidding? $3.6 million is enough to retire and live comfortably for the rest of your life.
- LoSboccacc 9y agoYou think money is all that is for a comfortable life?
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoOf course not, but "having a job" isn't on that list. There's a whole world of hobbies, movies, books, people, and conversations that you'd be free to explore to your heart's content. If you want to build things, go right ahead, on your own terms and whenever you feel like it. Why on earth would you miss being required to sit in an office 40 hours a week?
- nwallin 9y agoIf you stick $3.6m in a mutual fund and assume 5% returns, (which is extremely conservative) you'll maintain $180k indefinitely. Unless you waste it all on hookers, blow, and Lamborghinis you'll live pretty comfortably for life.
- s73ver_ 9y agoWhy would you be unwilling to hire someone who's demonstrated that they're an ethical person?
- LoSboccacc 9y agowhy is it suddenly about me? I would. but statistically speaking, hr hiring and firing patterns do penalize any behavior that would get a company into legal trouble.
