You see why it is so important to maximize your earnings early in this business?
Huck,
MBAs in Memphis. HA.
The problem with maximizing your earning early in this business, is that (as you know) it's rather hard to do. However, that said, maybe a great job in the school house, where one can earn 3 or 400K a year, for 4 or 5 years would be just the ticket. Or better yet, maybe we could pay the new hires 300K to start, then have a declining pay scale, such that when one is ready for retirement, their pay would approximate what they had to look forward to in retirement. That way they could get acclimated (downward) along the way and it wouldn't be such a great shock. What a great idea. I'll pass it by the non-union guys and those that pick up all those disputed pairings. Damn, sometimes I crack myself up.
