And third, nonprofit doesn't mean you don't make money. Ikea is a nonprofit. A job at a nonprofit, thus, is a job for any other entity.

- chrisseaton 6y agoRight - someone at the Wellcome Trust (respected UK genuine medical research charity) earned £3.2 million last year. https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/charity-pay-study-2019-highest-earners/management/article/1579223 https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/charity-pay-study-2019-highest... Now not saying they aren't worth it - this person probably bought more money in than that so of course it's obviously worth it on the bottom line, and everyone's entitled to earn as much as they can negotiate, it's nobody's business but their own and the people paying them. But don't hear 'non-profit' and think 'impoverished monk working on noble goals' as one or both may not be the case.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoIn Northern VA there are whole neighborhoods with huge houses and nice cars. I know a guy who lived there. I asked where all these people worked, thinking Verizon, AOL or similar. He said pretty much all worked for nonprofits. There is great money in non-profit leadership. A lot of hospitals also are non-profit and pay huge salaries to their management.
