Perhaps I just expect more compensation from a profession where I've got jeopardy from recurrent every six months, a medical every six months and where we have a much more grave responsibility than a plumber, but we'll cheerfully accept less and PAY for the opportunity to do so.

If that's the popular sentiment out there we're absolutely hosed.

I'm simply shocked.

That's my final comment on the thread, but I'm standing by with the fire extinguisher because after all, I'm a mod!
Don't worry boss, I'm right here to send this thread down in flames. I wouldn't want you to get bored on your free time and all
