I watched a bit of the impeachment hearings. I saw two groups of people. 1) Those who were making more than $100,000 a year in occupations they enjoyed and 2) those who were interning for nothing, but will use the intern experience to create a career that pays $100,000 a year and can afford to work for nothing because they live with their rich parents.
