I’m too paranoid to say what I do, but I’ll say this much. I make a bit over $70,000, about average for someone of my gender, age and race in my area. My job requires an advanced degree, which I possess. My son likes to remind me that for the same number of years I spent in college I could have become a dentist and be making several times my present salary.

As part of my job I manage other people. As part of the people-managing part of my work, I am required to dismiss those that do what I do during their free time. While being dismissed for cannabis remains theoretical where I work, people have been let go because of meth and alcohol. Their use of these substances had become obvious, to the point where their own friends and co-workers had turned them in. In both cases these people were seen using DURING WORK. In both cases PAID treatment was offered as a condition of their continued employment. In both cases it was refused.
