> The numerical salary shouldn't be the deciding factor. I don't think people that didn't grow up poor can appreciate how stupid that statement sounds to us.

  You're assuming I didn't grow up poor. You'd be correct in that assumption, but that doesn't mean I can't empathize. I didn't grow up poor, but when it came time to get my first job, I didn't have any money nor any help from my parents, or any fall back options. I had to get a job to afford food and shelter. I still cared about the work that I'd be doing.

    > You're assuming I didn't grow up poor. True, but given the evidence, I considered it highly unlikely that you did. > I didn't grow up poor, but when it came time to get my first job, I didn't have any money nor any help from my parents, or any fall back options. I had to get a job to afford food and shelter. It's not about that. It's about how you look at the world and how you view finances because of the way a person grows up. You don't have the same scars that we have. > I still cared about the work that I'd be doing. For us, that would be pretty low on the list of things that mattered.
