Quote from Deringer:




Almost 80 grand to teach the alphabets. [/B]

i actually think we need more teachers to be paid higher... to increase the quality of education

Quote from nitro:

I agree that people in US government are payed way too little for the level of responsibility. In fact, it is probably the reason that we have so little choice who to hire (vote for) in the field.

120K for Chelsea is too much imo given her experience. Or perhaps it is too little!!!??? Either way, her salary seems strange to me.

Really? Not much work experience but good resume.

Good school, good family (okay, a matter of opinion), former resident of the WHite House, excellent connections......

Education on all levels under graduate school is spiraling downward. My son came home from college (where I pay 28K a year) and informed me that he has to take a high school calc class cause its required. He is no idiot and he informed me that he doesn't even go to class cause its such a joke. Thank god he is a worthy student with a worthy major. Applied Mathematical Economic Theory

That's true. To see if she really is good, see how long she lasts. Connections, family etc will get you in the door. whether you last is up to ther person's ability

Seriously. teachers are chronically the most underpaid professions. how can the profession attract talent when there is so little incentive?

She(Chelsea Clinton) is being paid the right salary. She is very well educated. She was educated overseas in Europe and was sent to one of the best colleges in the world. She is educated in both foreign policy and U.S policy and international policies. 120K a year is the right pay for all her education. I wouldn't doubt it if she goes on to run for president of the United States in about 20 years. She is a very good public speaker. I watched her speak on television in front of an audience of 1000's. She speaks better than her mom and dad. Her voice didn't even shake. she looked like belonged up there. She knows what she is doing. They should pay her more.

I knew a guy at McKinsey who worked literally 15 hours/week and grabbed $350k per annum at 32yo.

I understand the partners at McKinsey at the Director level can make 8 figures. A new partner probably just clears 7 figures. It probably takes 10 years to make partner if you survive the review process.

Quote from Steve Tvardek:

McKinsey is a top top flight firm, I think the starting salary there is 6 figures. 120k is what they probably pay coffee runners and xerox copiers

say... you happen to know how much they pay mailroom clerks...?
