Actually, the doormen at my building average at about 32,000 a year... **** poor for the northeast, but at least they can afford a cheap lunch and a microwave dinner... Try that on 16 grand a year (while 75K or more in debt). I don't buy into that whole "paying your dues" nonsense. That's what we did in school - while PAYING for it. If you keep defending them, then it will only get worse.

Hell - for 16 grand, I'm surprised they don't moon or flip off the passengers on the way in. It's an insult. I guarantee - if you pay them like professionals, they will be MUCH more likely to act like them.
