Here is a question for all of you? Do you feel you are overpaid for what you are contributing to the society?

Student loans are a huge burden. I thought student loans would allow me to be educated to get a job to pay them off???

Let's see, i don't have no Limousine, or Driver, no Mansion, with beach views, and a 15 car garage, don't have fancy cars, boats, or my own jet, Don't vacation in the South of France, or jet to my favorite dining place, don't have maids, or cooks or my own exercise instructor, so my answer to you would be HEK NO.

This would probably be the standard response from anyone who is over paid.

They usually acknowledge that they make a lot, but they also believe they deserve it and are worth it as well. The fact is, aeroguy is likely making his wage because dozens of other people are being robbed of their labor value and having it handed to Aeroguy to compensate him for his "education, service to country, and strong ethics".
