My mom says that I'm good looking, but at 5'6", I'm forced to contemplate my abbreviated earning power:
Size matters, too. A study released last year by two professors at the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina found that tall people earn considerably more money throughout their careers than their shorter coworkers, with each inch adding about $789 a year in pay.
Fascinating stuff. I'm still waiting for the birth of affirmative action and diversity programs for the short, the fat, and the just plain ugly, considering the fact that hardwired biological discrimination is more pervasive than racial discrimination. I demand reparations from the heightist oppressors! Short men of the world, unite!
