My first civilian engineering job paid $35K per yr. That same year at the start of the NBA season, the starting minimum salary for a player was announced to be $115K. I had military service and a couple college degrees, and some kid right out of high school made more than 3 times more than me for playing a children’s game for part of a year. I lost interest in “professional” sports then.
