$120. Not bad, I guess. Should've become a lawyer!
Maybe. But if you're going to fantasize, you probably should've become a CEO of a major tech corporation. Then you could have made even
more money, without actually having to have achieved what you claimed you were going to when you got the job in the first place.
They made the real money.
They also did quite a lot of "real" work. It's not exactly as though one files a piece of paper with a court and then contrite defendants line up a week later, checkbooks in hand... Sure, the successful ones make big bucks, but then, by the standard American definition, anyone who's "top tier successful" at anything has basically convinced
someone to pay them a disproportionately large amount of money for no real reason for whatever work it is that they've actually done.
