10 Badass Teachers Who Should Get Paid More Than Any CEO
Salary is a weird word, because it means almost exactly what you think it does, but not in quite the way you think.
Have you ever watched that HBO show, Rome? There’s a scene where a character encounters the Roman army, and is trying to find a friend within its masses. Because cell phones are a few (hundred) decades off, he’s gotta yell and hope the right person hears. He starts trying to bribe other soldiers as to the whereabouts of his friend. He doesn’t bribe them with money, though, he bribes them with salt.
This is because, like cell phones, refrigerators are also a few hundred years off. But, no matter what era you’re born in, food is precious. And so anything to preserve food is equally precious. So, basically, welcome to a world where salt is a totally justifiable way to pay your soldiers.
The Latin word for salt is ‘sal’, and thus your salary was 'salarius’, an adjectival form of salt ('salarius’ means 'something that has to do with salt’, which, if salt is how you get paid, describes your salary pretty well). This mutated into 'salarium’, which literally meant 'salary’ as we understand the word today. Then the French got a hold of it, and the word 'salarie’ was born. By the fourteenth century, some monk lobbed the 'ie’ off, and thus the word 'salary’ as we know it today was born. Even two-thousand years later, when the people using the word don’t get paid in salt anymore.
Is hardly calculated based on what we think we are worth - or our skill. It’s based on what a company/person/organisation thinks we are worth, based on multiple parameters at that time, within that context.
There is actually no budget.

The gender earnings gap is an oft-discussed topic, as it should be. The new College Scorecard website from the US Department of Education offers average male and female earnings by school at six and ten years after enrollment (i.e., shortly after graduation, and after four to six years of work experience). I’ve plotted the change in the gap by subtracting the average female salary from the average male salary for some of the top-tier schools in four categories: medical institutions, private universities, private liberal arts colleges, and public institutions. As you can see, the gap always starts out smaller, but grows as men are promoted and given raises more readily. Out of all the schools, the only ‘negative gap’ – where women had a higher average than men – was six years after enrollment at Haverford.
