My daughter is an archer. I have asked her this question many times.
Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.
Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?
I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.
If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.
No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.
What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.
I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.
That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.
I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.
Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.
I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.
I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it
I was the first Red Hat Certified Engineer in the state of Oregon.
This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.
I guess I’ve never been able to figure out which group of Iranian-backed terrorists are the good guys.
When you support the Houthis you support the stoning of homosexuals.
I forget, aren’t we supposed to be cheering for the Houthis? I thought that was the new cool thing to be doing.
Apparently SNL can still be hilarious sometimes.
Never.
Emotionally I agree with you regarding Nuremberg, and Breivik, (and while I know that Quisling is synonymous with traitor I don’t actually know that but if history, so can’t agree or disagree).
The state should not be involved in murder.
State-sanctioned murder is never ok.
You got me choked up a bit with this post because it was spot -on.
Fucking hero. Law enforcement in Uvalde should take notes.
Yes. I have no problem with people who don’t like Jerry Krause, but I have a huge problem with those who would disparage him in front of his widow. That’s decidedly vile and far far below the belt.
Such fucking vile behavior.
Love my Kindle.
I’m laughing at your down votes. What your day is completely true.
Man, if his wife is as attractive as he is that’s gonna make for some great porn.
She was on a team in Kentucky 6th through 8th grades. She’s starting her Freshman year in Iowa.
Her response is sadly always the same. “Dad! I’d get in trouble!”
