- jbooth 16y agoYeah, but more notably, they all left after a couple years. I think it's a pretty high stress job, and leaving is probably more about the stress than the salary. It just manifests itself as "I'm not getting paid enough for this shit".
- aprrrr 16y agoMore cynically, to the extent that ex-press secretaries' private sector value derives from their access to those in power, they're worth more while their crew is still in office.
