But occaisionally I start thinking about the fact that so many of these employees were making HUGE amounts of money and living these elegant lifestyles without putting in the hard work that so many other people give. Do I really feel they deserve so much more than other educated fields? Not really. I guess they are in a risky industry so they should have prepared for the possibilities. I know they will suffer for a while but they should have prepared. I guess I just am at a loss for sympathy for these guys that were making $500,000+ a year for doing paperwork.
