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.

=(=(

ASIAN JUL · 03-24-2010, 02:59 PM

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...

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).

Scapegoat · 03-24-2010, 03:15 PM

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

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

**TROLL** · 03-24-2010, 03:20 PM

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.

3rdGenMr2Girl · 03-24-2010, 03:21 PM

^ 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.

djb5118 · 03-24-2010, 04:53 PM

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

MPowerKai · 03-24-2010, 05:22 PM
