There are exceptions, of course, but I think non-consultant jobs in .az.us haven't had exaggerated pay scales. Certainly nothing like what sales-doobies get. What I did see, however, was massively unqualified people in tech jobs. The jobs were paid correctly, it's just the person in the seat didn't qualify for it. There also weren't ( and still aren't ) enough entry-level positions. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # I've got a photographic memory, # but I'm lousy photographer. - der.hans
