In the past few months, I have talked in depth with 20 young people engaged in this work. They tend to come from families whose parents or ancestors accumulated wealth, and they have inherited or stand to inherit millions. Some have tech or other skills that bring them salaries they feel are disproportionately high. Most are white; some are children of South and East Asian immigrants. They have all studied at prestigious universities. Some are in college or graduate school, while those with jobs work in education, tech, the arts or organizing.
在过去的几个月里,我与进行这项挑战的20名年轻人进行了深入交谈。他们大多来自父母或祖先积累起财富的家庭,继承或即将继承的财产以百万美元计。也有些人拥有一技之长,他们觉得这些技能带来的薪水高得与他人不相称。他们大多数是白人,也有东南亚和东亚移民的后代。他们都曾经就读名校。有些人正在上大学或研究生,而那些已经工作的人从事的是教育、科技、艺术或组织方面的工作。
