Architecture is "straight mathematics"? I assume you must be confusing architects with building engineers or something. Architects design buildings; it's a creative field, like novelists or scientists, though they do have to know about building materials and physics and such.

I have mixed feelings about AI, but its impact in medicine is already being seen. They (Watson and others like it) can keep completely up to date on all published medical journals, university studies/research, etc (thousands and thousands of pages). They in real can then time aid in a surgeon's decision making, potentially even during a procedure. I'd expect in the longer term, their hands may prove more steady and predictable than a human's, as well as that they can be sized and shaped to fit in tighter spaces.

Separately, AI in the legal world should be interesting given how much research, and/or document review could potentially be done instantaneously, as opposed to using paralegals, associates, etc, and the accompanying human hours.

Face it, a lot of grading is probably done to enhance the value of cards to be sold. Let's assume many graded cards hit the market soon after they leave the TPG. I worry that cards could be intentionally undergraded, the serial numbers noted, then monitored for sales on Ebay and the AH's. They get purchased by those who know the undergraded serial numbers, and the cards can be resubmitted for a bump.

There is at least one, former I believe, SGC grader on the board. Maybe he will speak up or not.

The CFO makes 315k so using that as a benchmark I would think the head grader makes 125k or so and then the others in the 60k to 80k range.


Just a guess.

Just a guess.

Graders make $35K-$45k roughly the last time I was pursuing that as a job. Best paid guy was $65k or so

Surprised Joe Orlando isn't one of the top 4 paid execs of CU. I guess maybe he is only an employee of PSA and not CU.
