Salary voyeurism on FiPS

Why is it so much fun to find out how much people make, even if you don’t know them? On FiPS, this week’s edition of “Who Gives a Shit?” invites readers of the salty Park Slope blog to answer the question: What do you do and how much do you get paid to do it? Some of the answers: a $75,000-a-year industrial designer of animal products “things that squeak” (like the duck in the next item?), a charter-school teacher who makes $64,000 and an executive assistant at a non-profit (a “clueless creative working a dayjob”) for $50,000. The lowest paid people have no jobs at all, of course, and on the other end is a junior investment banker who makes $150,000. But where are all the strippers and drug dealers? The richie riches? Those people who supposedly make $300 a day linking to Google Ads? Don’t any of them live in Park Slope? Read the full list here and add your own, for no good reason.
