Sorry mate,

Not looking good for you, when you hit working life

'TALL people really do get ahead.

Australian researchers have found that tall workers earn more than their shorter colleagues, especially among men. A man who is six foot can expect to take home a "wage premium" of almost $1000 a year.

The boffins paint a bleak picture for the vertically-challenged.'

Perhaps we should be giving him a taster of things to come in later life.

I am sure we can find a nice fragrance of Eau de 'Pit etc....
Defo advantages to being 6'4" tall, fresh air being the first.

O Rly?


Since it is AUS $ it equates to only £500, I can live with that I feel

EDIT - Gatekeeper, doesn't that also mean you just get rained on first?

Thats per year, so will add up to a fair bit.

£20k over the average working life.

However I'm sure there must be a cost associated with being tall....


...yet to think of it yet though.

[Guy]

That be 2x E39 M5's then

[dave87]

In a 40 year working life, I think I can live with that.



Couldn't live with bashing my head every five minutes though...or having to duck through doorways and the like....

[GAteKeeper]

keeps my IQ down to only 30points above you dave, otherwise....

Oof, low blow.



We shall see, we shall see. Like in many walks of life, its not always what you have, it is what you do with it.

There is one downside to been tall, its called the Victoria line.

The upsides of IQ, Money and of course the ability to satisfy woman make up for the inconviences of public transport.

You lot seem to forget all good things come in small packages (Can you tell I am not particularly tall?) anyway if they paid us all what we are worth then I'd be fine (If I was still working that is)

Divorce letters come in small packages
Test results come in small letters
So do bills

Ferrari's come in big packages
....I think big is better

Fact of the matter is there is more of us tall people to pay for

Therapy for backpain?

I tell ya, it's tough in a tall man's world - just about every work surface or sink is too low down, so anything prolonged and you get a sore neck/back.

i went back to my primary school a few years after leaving. everything was 2/3 scale. i guess it feels like that for tall people all the time
