For a non-profit?
- nickpeterson 3y agoI know a few people who work for medical non-profits, they make well into the 6 figure range. It was somewhat eye opening to me. They are not doctors.

- madeofpalk 3y agoDoes non-profit mean they should be paid less for doing the same work? If a non-profit hires a janitor, should they pay the janitor less?
- addicted 3y agoA lot of people seem to believe that, which is completely nonsensical. As someone who runs a tiny hyper-local non profit (we take in a few thousand $s a year), running a non profit requires as much, if not more, work than running a for profit business. One reason why we have such awful non profits is that they don’t pay enough to compete for the best talent.

- komali2 3y agoCan I ask why there's an assumption that to do good in the world requires participating in some kind of poverty cult? Never understood where this comes from.
- jstarfish 3y agoJesus. Being the trust-fund offspring of a deity, he had it made from birth. But that's not how the story goes. It shows humility and puts you on the same level of vulnerability as others. It's what separates you from the gentry. You give everything of yourself to help others, to prove you're one of them, and inspire others to help in kind.
