just goes to show that for the most part, we don't do it for the money, we do it for the love. i'll be honest, i check this list out too on occasion to see where i fall on the scale, and some days...i really think i should have been a toy designer. :)
ReplyDeleteanyway, interesting little bit to share.
yeah...thesis is killing me, and is it worth it? maybe i should drop out to design toys or to be a tattoo artist.
ReplyDeletealmost half a million for the YMCA CEO??? this shocks me a bit and seems a bit inappropriate, yeah?
