Dad had BS in botany and was wedded to my being landscape editor at magazine. Even though I didn't make enough to survive in a city.

Ewww. I think I earn more than my parents combined BTW and I'm just a postdoc. Not that it matters ofc to me, but it really does to them.

Ours are controlled by government. You only need pay once you earn more than 20k and it's done automatically by your employer.
