By your stated standards, yes.
But there's a hell of a lot of money being made, if you don't mind working as a paving contractor for the well-intended.
- michaelt 2y agoIn my experience, only a tiny fraction of people in the charity sector manage to make "a hell of a lot of money" Mostly they're paying on the low end of market rate.
- bell-cot 2y agoTrue. Though - judging by endless charity CEO scandals - there are plenty of individuals doing very well indeed. While claiming to be doing good. And there is a critical difference between asserting that (1) the construction workers busy paving roads to Brimstone City are individually underpaid, vs. (2) the total worker payroll is not a hell of a lot of money.
