"YOUNG STRIVERS" IN WASHINGTON find that being a "professional world-saver" doesn't pay as well as they'd hoped.
And they're not getting much sympathy.
UPDATE: A reader emails:
Geez, we’ve been dealing with this in academic science for decades now.
I wish these people would do the math: Doing something that’s stimulating and fun, sounds great at a cocktail party, and is supported by charity or tax money means that you will probably be making peanuts. (In my field, there are usually about 200 applicants/permanent position, all with Ph.D.s.)
Don’t like being broke? Do something that makes you a profit center instead of a cost center.
