Heck, even if they only pay me $19,000 a year I'll still do it BECAUSE I LOVE TO CLEAN UP POOP! If you can't accept this about me, then you can just leave because you don't understand my passion for my career" you'd be a little turned off eh?
Yeah, you really hit it dead on. 9/11, and the recent Comair/Lidle crashes certainly exacerbate matters as well. Sometimes it's an "us vs. them" mentality, which I hate but can't deny.
