Anyway, it is instructive to hear these discussions. My spouse and I, with PhDs and postdocs under our belt, we haven’t gotten to the 150K HH until after we were 40 with kids…So no chance of getting to 1 M before we retire. To think that with RN degrees we would have had a much better life…Makes one wonder about the value of higher education… But I digress.[/quote]The value of higher education is not in the income alone. Dealing with sick and dying, poking, probing and cleaning is no fun. There are all kinds of high-risk/high-discomfort jobs that pay better than tenure, but they usually mean shorter, not better life.

ParticipantThis one got sold for $460K, after the seller rejected $470K. Was something wrong with it (other than the obvious)?
