So, maybe that's the key. Someone asked me a question on another thread and I asked why didn't they provide a qualifier. So, maybe if we said "I'm a fairly new shopper and I'm so excited because I hit the $850 mark last month! What is the mark that makes you excited and how did you hit it?" I don't know, maybe then it's not so direct. Most peeps here, that speak up, seem to like a casual, indirect hit. $850 is a lot part-time! I'd say at least 65% of the $$ I make is bonus $$ and VERY long hours two weeks out of the month. Otherwise I would be just topping the 1k each month.

Hey haven't seen you in a long time, you look fatter than before
Yea, you look uglier than before.
We live in a Western culture so I don't see that Eastern culture customs have any bearing. Most people I know would simply ignore and avoid a boorish person who called them fat and ugly. I do know a couple of people who would take it very personally and verbally respond and if the offender was fortunate would not react physically.
As far as the OP, I think the question was innocent enough but not thought out and yes, rude.

Just curious if you ask other people how much money they make when considering other careers?

The internet is open to the whole world. Not everyone here lives in the US.
That is true but the vast majority of members of this forum are from the US and I am assuming the OP is also. . As far as I'm concerned this was a question from a member of the US to numerous members of the US and your stats on the internet have no bearing. If I am incorrect and the OP is from China or wherever, perhaps clarification is needed. By no means am I a student of Chinese culture or morays.

I think it would be a good idea to do so, especially if you're thinking about investing years of your life and or tens of thousands of dollars on education in a field that doesn't make much money.
However, OP in this business, you make what you're worth. You learn as you go and you can make decent money.

It won't end. Posters will continue to ask repetitive questions and other posters will continue to make repetitive responses. And on and on and on and on. That's what an internet forum looks like.
