So, we both worked jobs when we were teens. Big deal.
I was still in high school when I was working for Uncle Sam
part time, 20 hours per week. I gave it all up to become a US
Marine and it was the best thing I ever did by getting out of a
government job wherer you could advance on your own merits you
had to wait until you did the time just like the other guys,
who were sitting around just collecting a paycheck.

I was the manager of a QA team when I was 25 years old and I
was bringing home $40K per year. Pretty good mone for the mid
'80's.

So, can you quantify "considerably more?"
Sure I can quantify it, but why?

By the way, when you gave up your part-time government job to
join the marines, you didn't get out of a government job. You
simply traded one for another. Soldiering is a government job.

Why not answer his question instead of attacking him Harry?
Why should I reveal what my annual earnings are? Hell, you won;t
even tell people what you do for a living.
And why do you need to know that information?
Why does Bert or anyone else here need to know my annual earnings?

I was curious at one point at what you did for a living. Not where
you worked, but whether you were an Indian chief, a rug salesman, or
whatever. It was just curiosity. Why, do you think if you told me
you were sales manager for company that made processing products,
that would be too revealing? You, Smithers, Robbins, and the rest of
the righties are very, very close about yourselves, but you sure
don't mind talking in depth about the lives of others...right?

Nope.
Well, well, well, a bit of honesty at last. You and your gang enjoy
talking up the lives of others, but you sure want to keep your lives a
secret.

And you have the gumption to ask me why I won't tell Bert what I earn?

Thanks. I needed a smile.
Interesting new subject to this thread.

I have put it out in front of everybody and I am a "rightie", no
secrets from me. On the other hand you are so secretive that you will
not tell anyone anything about yourself that has occured within the
last 35 years.
That's a rather bizarre posit on your part. Are you unaware of my
political leanings, or the fact that I've been married twice, or that I
live in southern Maryland adjacent to the Bay, or that I work as a
communications consultant for clients in the DC-Baltimore area?

Since you are being so forth coming with you information why don't you
tell us:

1) How much money you earned last year?
2) What your current religous beliefs are?

I don't discuss my personal religious beliefs or current earnings in
usenet. I'm a great admirer of His Holiness The Dalai Lama, though. Is
that helpful?

You are a lousey example of what the Dali Lama preaches.
