Here’s another factoid about my life. I chose a career path that makes practically NO money. Rhymes with SHMADVERTISING. Yay me!!! To celebrate this mistake, most of my coworkers (including myself) take turns at lunch complaining about our lot in life. The consensus with the group is we all wish we had gone the medical, law or finance route. Though nowadays you got the economy in the crapper and the government running healthcare. Even Hollywood is tightening its belt. I’ll tell ya the only recession proof profession that seems to STILL be pulling in gobs of cash is in toddler entertainment. You want proof? Just visit my sister's house. My niece and nephew have like a zillion more DVDs than me (and their skulls aren’t even fully hardened yet). Times that by billions of other families globally and you get the idea. But hey, don’t take my bitter words for it, here’s what Wiki and google have to say…
THE WIGGLES: In 2009 the Wiggles drove their big red car right to the bank with around $40 million in the trunk.
BOB THE BUILDER: Keith Chapman’s kid contractor creation has so far made $1.4 billion in retail sales.
SPONGEBOB: Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and made 2 billion in merchandising last year alone?!! SpongeBob SquarePants!
HANNAH MONTANA: Miley Cyrus is reportedly making a cool $18.2 million a year. Ugh! Gets me right in my achy breaky heart!
