I live in US and I work in public accounting. As part of my work I have to
look through numerous payroll schedules for various companies. WMF salaries
are very reasonable. They do not simply profit from volunteer work. They
work hard and do an amazing job. They deserve every penny they get. If you
think about it: if they chose to go into for-profit fields, they would be
getting substantially larger paychecks. But they decided to forgo that
personal benefit. So they are not profiting, they in fact sacrificing....
and I am extremely greatful.
