My father, recently retired, has his Doctorate in Electrical Engineering. Back in the Seventies, he went for an extended trip to the Aleutian Islands to work, fine-tuning an Early Warning Radar installation. The company he was working for paid him time and a half while he was there AND continued his regular paychecks back home for the family to live on. I happened to see one of the paystubs. Overtime aside, he was making $40K a year. At the same time Yaz made headlines for signing a $500K contract...for 3 years. I remember thinking, "Gee a baseball player makes a little more than 4 times what a man, doing his best to protect the country against Russian missile attack, makes." About 6 months ago I was helping him get some financial stuff in order and he mentioned that through promotions, raises and switching companies over the years, he peaked at $350K a year. AROD makes WHAT?
