thing is, for 100k he must prove to be 50 times better than anyone else.
I doubt any other man on the street would have a hard time learning to do this man's job just as well.
Is he a better man than you, or anyone else?
personally, although I appreciate that good things can often cost more, I find it sickening what some people earn in this city...
a fat cat might give himself a bonus of a million, and own 4 houses and 3 sports cars, and a nurse earn 20k a year and drive a ten year old mini metro and have to live in a high rise flat, but I know who I'd prefer to bandage me up when I come off my bike.
it's money for the sake of money, not value.
you could say I'm bitter cos I'm poor, but I don't do the lottery and have no wish to be given millions to buy cars and possessions, what I do object to is working my bollocks off for the last 20 years and still not being able to even buy a studio flat without bending over for some mortgage company.
