Forbes article on your weight / salary relationship

I read today in Forbes that "thin" women earned an average of $7,000 a year more than their average figured colleagues. For women described as "very thin" this difference increased to $22,000 a year more.

I find this both hugely disheartening that we're judged like that, and at the same time bitterly motivating.

I have been turned down for jobs. I do think its because Im over weight...:indifferent:

It could be the other way around too though, that it's easier to be thin if you have money and not necessarily that being overweight keeps you from getting a high paying job...

Tell you what, lemme drop this last 15-20. If I get a raise, I'll let you all know. :P
