Did you compare average jobs across time and place?
Ie, does your statement apply to everyone in the country? Some places have much lower cost of living but similar earning power.
Similarly, did you compare to the past? Average people used to be much worse off 20, 40, 60, etcetera years ago.
Also, should running research projects that matter little to the average person get large financial rewards?
- tdb7893 2y agoI was just saying what's happening with my friends and why they feel disaffected. You're the one making a lot of claims with no sources. For specifically about the research project (which is the only question really relevant enough to answer): no, I don't think someone running fully funded research projects at a top university in her field should necessarily be living luxuriously but I do think they shouldn't have to worry about making rent in the city the university is in. Edit: to put it in perspective my dad was able to pay for college working part time on the docks. Nowadays it would struggle to pay food/rent, let alone get close to paying tuition.
