I'm a single father raising two teenagers in a 2 bedroom apartment that's running me at $1,600 a month (which is actually one of the cheaper rents).

:blink:

(I'm not shocked at the price, just the fact that you're a father!) :P

Seriously though, $1600 for an apartment? I know where I want to buy real estate! ;)

In grade school I had a best friend whose mom was an actuary. She made $350,000/yr.

Oh that's it, I'm SO going back to school and getting another degree. I was pretty good at math. :thumbs:

She owned shares of the company though, so that's the ticket.

Well, the money for Curator might not be the greatest, but there are perks! What other job allows you to drive a 1919 Pierce Arrow Roadster, handle a letter from George to Martha Washington (only 2 survive), play with Luke Skywalker's light saber or shoot a 1921 Thompson?

True...in this context. See my answer above - my assistant only has a high school diploma, but she is very bright and works really hard, so I don't feel bad about the $60K that we give her. Besides, she has a kid and he eats most of that 60K. tee hee

But I would still trade with you because at the end of the day - you are the boss of you! :thumbs: And you can't lay you off or send you packing without a severance package. I can't wait to be the boss of me - despite the hard work - I rather slave away for myself.
