Moreover, you are privileged enough to have gone to school for 20+ years and to have studied a discipline that has no real financial value outside of academia. This means your parents probably footed the bill for your room and board, at least. I bet you've never had to worry about where your next meal was going to come from.
It’s ironic that the pigs Rhys so despises are the ones who made it possible for him to be the flabby, indulged wastrel we have before us today.
Inspector Gregg McKinnon of the Saanich Police Department was one of the highest paid municipal employees in Victoria, raking in over $105k annually— and that’s in 1990’s money. In the year of his retirement (2004) he was the highest paid, thanks to additional benefits that nearly doubled his usual salary. Mom wouldn’t bring in quite that much from the University of Victoria where she works as the Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Research, but $55k a year is nothing to sneeze at, even in Canadian dollars. With just the one bouncing boychild in the house, young Rhys was at his leisure to explore famously inexpensive pursuits like golf at the family’s club.
I like to think Rhys took all of that filthy, tainted cop lucre from dad and put it to good use: by squandering educational opportunities and financial assistance most scholars would kill for in order to be a two-day-a-week entry level professor who spends his free time harassing cancer patients on Twitter.
Why should he worry? Rhys hit the jackpot when he convinced CofC that a straight white man in a skirt counted as a diversity hire. What a con. Rhys is truly sticking it to THE MAN and THE WO-MAN both just by being his naturally privileged self.
