Is this what passes as journalism now? I mean:

>“My 19 year-old boss was taking home $35,000/year with benefits,” he said. “Plus they train you on the job for free. She told me that she was on track to be a regional manager by the age of 30 and would make 100k by then.”

>Katie Nellis said managers of Walgreen's drugstores in the US “often retire in their 40s.”

Are we just taking these wild, likely highly exaggerated claims at face value? And did the BBC really just re-publish comments from Quora as a story with no additional verification?

In that case, the most surprising salary is for journalists at the BBC - I'm surprised they can keep a job at all.
