"So what. A case of the envy?" - my initial reaction
A friend of mine sent me an article about a former University of Chicago dean making 700k per year. I thought that the article would be negative. This is why I thought envy.
It actually was surprisingly positive. It highlighted the achievements that the dean had lead and the school accomplished during his tenure. Impressive results- 800M in funding over his time.
So if we are to reward performance, why shouldn't a dean make the money he deserves. I never fault anyone for what they earn. It is their business to get the most for their labor.
In my opinion we should focus on what we earn, how to maximize that, and think of additional sources of income. Thinking about someone else's deal is just a waste of time. It shouldn't matter to us what they are getting paid and whether they are worth it. It is rare that the two are equal.
Today's question is:
"What are you getting paid vs. what are you worth?"
