Was talking to a guy yesterday about a job at a start up. They need to hire someone. They are going to pay $70k to an MBA graduate from a top ten school, plus give them a little equity that vests over time. Some of the 70K will be in equity too. The kid that takes that job assumes huge risk, but of course has a high upside if the start up is successful. If they went to work for the government, they’d be guaranteed to make an average of $83K, without their pension…#incentivesscrewedup

Maybe that’s the problem. Obama doesn’t donate to charity. heh.
