ROFL @ their mission statement… “make a difference”
Re: What is a "good" salary?
A good salary ... I think a good salary is one with which you can fulfill all the bare necessities of life and earn some luxuries with self respect and satisfaction. For some it could be the mere pocket money they receive and for others the money is never enough!

Re: What is a "good" salary?
London is next. IPR did a study that showed some 6 million Brits live outside the Uk. The primary reason people are leaving is the cost of housing. Even in my nuclear family 2 people have left.
Ave cost of a house in SE is c. £200,000.
That is a blatant lie!! The primary reason is their weather.
Secondary reason is English women. (Yes! Yes! I know. I shouldn't)
Re: What is a "good" salary?
actually it is cost of living. a lo of ppl are retiring in cheaper places. now if it is a cheaper place with better weather then why not.

Re: What is a "good" salary?
Actually no. You probably wanna ask him only more meaningful question like universe and its beginning etc.

Is he a genius?
Re: What is a “good” salary?
Depends. If you mean genius like Einstein for putting forth theory of relativity to others then sure, he’s a genius out of the sheer fact that he can easily do just that by copy and pasting it from Google. :halo:

Re: What is a "good" salary?
Mr. Fraudia,
I´d rather live in a country, investing in me as a person through my edu.
Im not a socialist, but US will never be a heaven to me. Its policies, its way of treating the huge population of below average income, is dispeakable.
At end of my edu. the goverment has invested over 5 millions in me without having forced ANY sort of condition upon me. Think about it. I dont even have a single dime in debt, when through with education. So its a win win situation all the way.
I dont find a country stable that can not even provide health care for its own population. Its a breed of the mentality:"Survival of the fittest."
And for sudden Arab countries, with all due respect..... Please mention
one of them, that allows for example a young teenage pakistani to get their citizinship. Some arab women loose their nationality, if they marry a none-arab. How many young men are forced to leave their families, just because they turned 18 of age? They are the out cast. FORCED to leave the country of perhaps even birth! Which other western country practices that?
If you take the pro's then I feel enclined to mention the anti's as well.
And seriously, you should always be critical to the "top ten or hundred chart".
Bill gates never complited his edu. Most entrepeneurs are self made people with a disciplin to die for. Financial wisdom or making it big is done without havard or oxford..... We also need a change of view on regarding edu=money=wisdom=stability. Most people earning high saleries are caught in the their own web of expending upon things.....they really dont need.
As their SUV.s 100 K mansion etc. The day you take their job away from them, then you get to know how FINANCIALLY SMART they have been, or not. The name of the game is, how will you make it, IF things goes against you or your investment drops dead on u......? Thats my way of looking at things.
Re: What is a "good" salary?
Path,
what country are you in mate?
Cos I'm in the UK, sh!t is expensive, place is cold. I yearn for the warmer climates and lower costs of North America.

Mr. Fraudia,
I´d rather live in a country, investing in me as a person through my edu. Im not a socialist, but US will never be a heaven to me.
sure it will not be for you just like scandinavian countries for me would always be a good place to visit but not to live because they are middling also rans who rarely are the leaders in any breakthrough.
At end of my edu. the goverment has invested over 5 millions in me without having forced ANY sort of condition upon me. Think about it. I dont even have a single dime in debt, when through with education. So its a win win situation all the way.
is it win win? its a substandard education, clearly proven by the global rankings. I would rather pay for state of the art rather then get something avg or below avg for free. It is good for avg joes but achievers would want to getthe best, and scandinavian countries are ill equipped to provide that.
I dont find a country stable that can not even provide health care for its own population. Its a breed of the mentality:"Survival of the fittest."
we are going on tangents now, but in that case I can state that the racist immigration policies of scandinavian countries has protected them so far but as the population growth rates decrease and they need workers, they will go teh same route as Paris ghettos because they are defintely not as welcoming to immigrants, and the immigration numbers would prove that.
And for sudden Arab countries,
My point was just because a country does one thing right does not make it better than the others, u used the example of your education being paid for, and I just showed that if that is your argument then there are other countries that can boast the same"
And seriously, you should always be critical to the "top ten or hundred chart".
sure, I am critical of it, but its not meaningless. You cant say that NED is as good as MIT...so yeah a some uni ranked #1 may be in actuality #6, but not #212. The fact that we saw how scandinavian unis stacked up speaks volumes. the argument was how good they are, I showed you expert proof that says they are not.
Bill gates never complited his edu. Most entrepeneurs are self made people with a disciplin to die for. Financial wisdom or making it big is done without havard or oxford..... We also need a change of view on regarding edu=money=wisdom=stability. Most people earning high saleries are caught in the their own web of expending upon things.....they really dont need. As their SUV.s 100 K mansion etc. The day you take their job away from them, then you get to know how FINANCIALLY SMART they have been, or not. The name of the game is, how will you make it, IF things goes against you or your investment drops dead on u......? Thats my way of looking at things.
Lets not look at exceptions like Gates or Dell. Fact of the matter is that the vast majority of people do well if they go to college versus if they did not go to college, further more, the better teh college, the better the starting salary and better the career trajectory. Look up top leadership of fortune 500 and see. forget that look at top leadership of scandinavian companies and see how many are grads of top US, UK or French business schools.
so yeah the point of (edu=money=wisdom=stability) may not be 100% right, but the polar opposite of that is even less correct.
Re: What is a "good" salary?
absolutely right.
to extend the argument further, in a single income or a dual income family, where the spouses work hard to make basic annual income, every penny matters so wasting anyone's money is totally out of question. rather women and men can save it together and less hassle is there when you do not any one any money as is done by using credit cards.
wise couples and young professionals can always look for better price lists of different stores and shop together to avoid argument over spending too much.
there is a balance between being an extra vagant spender and a miser.
hopefully most people know how to balance and stay blissfully content in their dal roti and pur sakoon cheth. amen

so whats a good salary?? 
Re: What is a "good" salary?
Legbreak, why do you have such low standards for your self? In reference to you "if I was a millionaire" post.
One would hope that with enough disposable income one would not need to regular "whores", but rather one could find oneself an attractive gold digger - wooed by beverages other than "beer". A much more respective proposition don't you think?
Not only will she be STI-free at point of purchase (one would hope), but be a very fashionable hand accessory. All without denting ones pocket considerably.
Good luck with your endeavors!

Take note of my sig. I hold myself to the highest personal values in moral behavior. Forum jokes or light hearted posts are not reflective. My standards are stringent. :)
On the issue of salary, is it (reasonable) to find a job in Birmingham post MA which will pay 20K starting?
