On Being Paid Too Little

(...changed to a public topical entry...)

So Cham came to my school to speak. His comics have always been so accurate and humorous to me and probably make no sense to the rest of you who are not in grad. school.

So yeah, here at Hopkins we make way too little. It seriously is hard to have money for grocery shopping sometimes.

But then I was thinking once again about how perhaps I should be thankful. It is kind of sad to complain considering I live in a wealthy country. But then again, not being able to afford food indicates a need regardless of whether others are more in need than I. Just because others are dying of cancer does not mean that I should not try to cure my cold.

Regardless, I should be thankful, but I wonder if I can truly complain about not being paid enough....

needs vs wants, education
