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.


And why do you need to know that information?
