Tall people make higher income

  • Thread starter buckeye
  • Start date
Hi everyone!  I just read a report that says the taller you are the more money you make.  They said a person earns an average of $789 per extra inch.  So a 6 ft tall person would make $5,523 more per year than someone 5'3".  This is really good news for me since I’m 6' 5".

Heh, yeah, I read that on CNN. Not fair!
 
I feel like amputating some legs.

Cheers

It's ok, you're still a lot NICER than a lot of tall people I know.

Okay, but is there a different beginning height, for better income, for men and women.  Such as the average male stands 5'10" and the average female 5'3".  Would then a male 5'10" make an equivalent salary to a female 5'3".  Hmmmmm.  This requires more study.  

But then you must include race and enviroment into issue....Hmmmmm.  After all the average height of an Asian male is a couple inches shorter than the average height of the American male...Hmmmmmm. Therefore, does the Asian male of average Asian height make the equivalent salary to an American male of the average American Hieght...Hmmmmm.

We could test.  I am a police officer in a state were the pay is close to the worse in the nation for that job.  Plantakiss, I am two inches taller than you, therefore I should be making $1578 more than you...Hmmmmm.  Nevermind, it would just blow the theory.

Just in case some of you have not figured it out, sometimes I work hard to be a pain in the caboose.

Schloaty, the martial arts thing works well for us short, fast people. (and evil tempers..comes from the neck cramps caused by looking up all the time)

My son, over 6 feet at 15 years, starts to say something about "shorty" and either turns and runs or bites the ground. Got to keep those tall people in line ya know.

I'm 14 1/2 and stand in at 5' 7 & 3/4 ''. Woohooo! I beat out Schloaty by 1/4 of an inch!

Copper, don't you just LOVE canceling someone's height when they least expect it? The look on their face is just priceless....

I have heard that the smaller they are, the meaner, is that true? Of course I have also heard that the bigger they are the harder they fall...tee hee *great*
