What people make a year.

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about what pro skiers make a year.
In todays parade pull out in the paper,the cover article is about what people earn.

Jessica Sobolowski is on the cover with $30,000 under her picture.She's not the top woman in the industry,but she's pretty high on the ladder.I think this gives one a decent impression about what most pros make.

Of course Qualtiy of life & fringe benefits must be factored in as well.

Wealth is a state of mind.

seriously....as long as i had enough money for gear, food, and travel i would be totally happy being a pro skier...

for me that would be like a 10,000 dollar a year salary

i have a grad student. i make like negative money.....

seriously, aint so bad. I make about that, but only like 4 or 5g's from actually skiing(coaching mostly) but just being in the mountains, even with a job, makes that salary more than worth it.

Would suck raising a fam on that though.

Who cares????Why does it matter to you??What difference will it make to your life if you know what other people make???? These days people spend far too much time thinking about other peoples personal buisness/lives.....it's rediculous.

Money is for rich people.

Relax, Francis.

It's also ridiculous.

Happiness cannot buy money.

I saw that Parade article. I make more than Jessica Sobolowski, but less than Jessica Simpson

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers once said, "Skiing will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no skiing."
Or was that something else they were talking about?
OK, who else is old enough to know what I'm talking about?
