"This is the best/most interesting post I have come across yet, though I am shocked you got 50k to open the gym "Perhaps I mis-spoke. The $50K
didn't happen until 4 or 5 years later. I think my 1st years pay was $15,000ish. At the end,
all the front desk guys did $35 - $50k per year. Those days are long gone.
Edit: I remember a meeting we had at work one day, in that great room, upstairs, where all the old mags were , 10's-of-thousands of old BB mags... one of the new bean counters in accounting, stood up and said, "There's no way the guys at the front desk should be making more money than management!" Dude was all mad and condescending. We stole his car.
Thanks for the nice words.
