$6 Million per week....

[rjd970]

I wish I could pull in $6 million a week for simply being around when my company tanked.

WaMu CEO Fishman might get millions for a three-week job - Sep. 26, 2008

It's the only way to live.

A million a day, and he hardly had time to set up his desk! I wish my company offered severance pay like that.

that's nothing, Franklin Raines (an Obama economic adviser) milked 91 million out of Fannie Mae and his "retirement" package gives him $1 million/year for the rest of his life.

if you had his qualifications for the job, you might get the chance some day.

I bet he had a contract. So you are for breaking contracts?

I would agree if it were all really about qualifications and hard work.

Raines is a train wreck. He's a big piece of our current debacle.

You're not one of those "winners of life's lottery" Gephardt folks are you?

politics is part of the hard work, no two ways about it.

And luck, and who you know. I've got a master's degree and 10 years work experience, and the simple fact of the matter is I could work for another 20 years and would never get to that level without knowing the right people and falling into the right circumstances.

No whining here, I'm just saying qualifications and politics are not the only part of it.

No, hard work is still most important. Some people are dealt a better hand than others though and not all roads to success are equally easy, but they are equally possible.

no they aren't.

 

[rjd970]

no they aren't.

What do you mean?

 

[BigPapaVol]

all roads to success are not equally possible for all people. Just isn't the case.
