Did you all have 3 kids and a wife to feed, and a house you had just bought? Probably not.
What if you made that 24k, and then you lost your job? For a time, my father, with a fairly new PhD, worked as a custodian and delivered newspapers. |

What year was this, Mike, just so we have a point of reference?

My salary has greatly exceeded the rate of inflation over the last 13 years because I have continued to enhance my educational background, learn new skills and accumulated a broad wealth of work experience in different actuarial disciplines.

in SLC? I worked there during college.
I got paid to sit and do homework all evening. Occaisionally, the computer would beep, and I'd go switch tape reels. Great job.
