A Day in the Life
I had a adjunct professor teach a film class. My self and a few students would hang out afterwards and listen to his stories from being a director in the film industry for many years. When he was in college he had a friend whose dad was a big time executive with Well Fargo and he too would become an executive.
Every now and then they would get together once or twice a year for dinner and reminisce. After a particularly good year, professor insisted that he pay for dinner. His friend booked a really nice restaurant and always paid and my professor would always protest.
This time, though, he let his friend handle the bill. It came and it was $12,000. He swallowed his pride and went to pay the bill reluctantly. He was successful director, but not that successful.
Work was inconsistent. As he was going to pay his friend laughed and took the booklet away from him and told he already took care of it.
My professor said he would need to save an entire years worth of pay to afford one day of his friends life. Story Credit : Reddit / DigiQuip
