On the subject of non-disagreements, can I make another ping about the probable large difference in definitions of Earning-to-Give? Peter did give a definition “According to the EA Survey (focused on 2013 data), the mean donation in our sample from EAs who met the criteria for earning-to-give (>=$60K annual income and >=10% donations)...”. There isn’t one in the OP.
Or to put it more pointedly, would I be right in guessing that if we define everyone earning >$60k and donating >10% as Earning to Give, you think more than 15% of people open to any career path should be doing that long term?

If I were defining it again, I’d further refine it to have the third criteria “and with the intent that the majority of one’s impact is coming from donations”. For example if one earns $60K at a company working on improving developing world infrastructure, it sounds like something different than what I’d consider making a big difference through donations.
