We've all heard about the calculations of a mother's salary, if she were paid for the various tasks she performs. Near Mother's day, I heard a figure over $110K, which even included psychologist/counselor! I thought that was good.. . . however, those of us who work use our employer's calculation of what we are worth, and that seems to usually be calculated on supply and demand; maybe some on amount of technical study and intelligence. It mystifies me, tho, how salespeople can still draw some exceptionally high salaries--rivaling CEO's. .certainly exceeding my non-profit executive salary.
However, when we choose to take time off, and we are paid the same rate of pay for those vacation days, why do so many people tend to try to cram so much in to their personal hours that they would not do likewise at the office.
vacations, for instance. . .more and more people choose to 'fly'. .to save time-- so they can avoid taking too many vacation days for travel time.
Me, even when gas is at an all time high, I plan to drive this vacation, because it is worth it to me spending an extra day and half on the road, enjoying the view of nature --I may even take some less-traveled by-ways, rather than having to experience the aggravation of airport delays, paying high parking fees, waiting in line, dealing with rude and angry people, and security checks peering into the luggage of people who would no more be potential terrorists than Bugs Bunny.. . I'll save that for another blog. LM
