That quote is a little... off? If your wife's an attorney and you can't get a refi with getting a job delivering packages, is that house massive? Why would the relatively small contribution of a delivery job push a bank over the line for a refi? Isn't getting a delivery job during the Xmas season usually temporary?
- ryanmetz 8y agoMost attorneys don't work at large firms and don't make nearly as much money as the popular imagination would hold it. There is a huge glut of law school graduates that is driving down wages outside of the white shoe firms, as well.

- ukoki 8y agoAny idea why there's such a narrow peak at 160k? Is it a tax efficiency thing or are law firms colluding on salary? (or something else?)
- JauntTrooper 8y agoIt’s the starting salary at biglaw firms. The law profession is very guild-like in it’s hiring practices.
- vonseel 8y agoHe also mentioned that his checking account is overdrawn, so I think he may need this income.
- WaddyJones 8y agoIt’s not like his checking account was overdrawn and he has no assets to pay it. He owns a fucking house lol. A checking account overdrawn PLUS OWNING A FUCKING HOUSE does not mean he needs money. It means he got the amazon job solely to write this article. It’s just obvious IMO
- Banksy_is_Qanon 8y agoNo, he doesn’t. Dude, HE OWNS A HOUSE. An overdrawn checking account PLUS A HOUSE is not the same as an overdrawn checking account in isolation. This guy is not poor. HE LITERALLY OWNS A HOUSE , dude. He doesn’t “need” the income any more than a rich person “needs” more riches. Given his status as a man with assets masquerading as a man without them (“I own a house but my checking account is overdrawn, therefore I need money!!!”), It’s obvious that he took the gig primarily (or, more likely: solely) in order to write this article. Pretty dishonest that he doesn’t mention that IMO.
- rconti 8y agoHe clearly stated he needed W2 income. It probably doesn't matter if it pays less than 1099.
