Out last night and an acquaintance bragging about their 32 year old son earning getting paid £170,000 for a job as a senior associate planner at a company called DWD. Apparently it's because "it's London", but he does it all from his spare room in Derby! Oh and he might be a director now. We're always hearing about this son and his money, investments and skiing. The other son earns about £27000 and doesn't give a damn.
Everyone turned, someone else felt a failure for only earning £46,000. Arguments that they don't deserve that much, the salaries of firefighters and nurses brought up, that they make more of a difference and are more valuable. Junior anaesthetist on less than a third of the planning chap.
They then went on a rant about the Tories. I might agree there but I don't want it served up as entertainment.
I wish I'd stopped in.
