Is it interesting?

I am that person for myself, for my first year in the workforce.

I am also that person for myself when I was studying in college.

I think it is only interesting in the case when you are performing the exact same job, and yet the compensation varies by an order of magnitude or more.

I think the point is people earning $8/hr 40 hrs/wk 40 years = $665k total for a lifetime's work. Of course most people in the world earn much less than this.
