So, we both worked jobs when we were teens. Big deal.
I was still in high school when I was working for Uncle Sam part time, 20
hours per week. I gave it all up to become a US Marine and it was the
best thing I ever did by getting out of a government job wherer you could
advance on your own merits you had to wait until you did the time just
like the other guys, who were sitting around just collecting a paycheck.

I was the manager of a QA team when I was 25 years old and I was bringing
home $40K per year. Pretty good mone for the mid '80's.

So, can you quantify "considerably more?"

Sure I can quantify it, but why?

By the way, when you gave up your part-time government job to join the
marines, you didn't get out of a government job. You simply traded one for
another. Soldiering is a government job.



Why not answer his question instead of attacking him Harry?



Why should I reveal what my annual earnings are? Hell, you won;t even
tell people what you do for a living.

Ring any bells, Harry?

"Narcissists don't volunteer the usual personal information about themselves, so they
may seem secretive or perhaps unusually reserved or very jealous of their privacy.
All these things are true, but with the special narcissistic twist that, first, their
real life isn't interesting to them so it doesn't occur to them that it would be
interesting to anyone else and, second, since they have not yet been transfigured
into the Star of the Universe, they're ashamed of their real life."
