Your Paycheck vs. Pro Sports Player's Paycheck
 

The link is here: http://espn.go.com/espn/thelife/sala...leteId=3708899

That one is comparing to Mark Teixeira of the Yankees but you can pick from a few pro athletes.

It makes me cry.

You will need to work 90 years in order to make Mark Teixeira's annual salary.

=(=(

90 years sounds better than 1875 years.

Yeah, but factor in a mortgage, spending money, cars, parts, food, etc, and that 90 years sure turns into a lot more. I couldn't even imagine 1875 years....

conflikt... did you just say that you make 250k a year? i mean... someone was bound to bring that up in the next few posts. this is kind of like an indirect salary contest in a way, even if it wasnt intended...

I'm closer to 900 years than I am to 90, I'll say that much...

ditto. the guy needed 1.6 at bats to make my annual salary.

Yeah, but what does it matter to you guys? I am as depressed about the time it will take me to make anything close to what these jokers make, no matter how good they are. I'm good at what I do, better than the rest, but I make **** compared to Mark Texishera(w/e).

i will need to work 562.5 years to make his salary lol. maybe i'll get down to like 300 years when i graduate with a degree.

i'm under 300 years. i got my fingers crossed for cryogenics...

Definitely not meant to be a salary contest. I can wage a guess, however, that I am the loser of the bunch. :eek:

the link itself presents a contest... of course its going to come up here as well.

I know, but I mean I didn't intend for it to be a mymoneycawkisbiggerthanyourmoneycawk thing

I didn't see it as that either. I didn't even think twice until Troll brought it up.

I wish I could be under 300 years... I'd feel like I was on top of the world at that point, haha.
This really does put it into perspective though. I guess what this should teach kids is that they should forgo academics for sports, even if it requires cheating / steroids (Manny is included in the list on that site).

Didn't mean to call out your salary in a bad way... its amazing really. Hire me so I can aspire to be like you, haha.

^ it's pretty much true. it's more f**ked up that people like doctors who save lifes even make significantly less than pro athletes.

i wish i did 'roids and swung a bat :(

Just for ****s and giggles, I did a million to see what the stats would be like

JESUS CHRIST

i'm under 500 years.
lol meh. I'm still very pleased with my annual salary for my age and the work i do.

Im sub-400 based on my offers from last semester, but times and the job market can change at the drop of a hat.

It says you will need to work 1 year in order to make Mark Teixeira's annual salary, whoever that is......


















































just kidding lol, I'm under 300 though
