Bob, No offense taken.
Having been in the situation and spending almost 2 years looking for a permanent (or semi-permanent) position, I was merely pointing out the the multitudes on this list that almost any paying position is better than unemployment or Wal-mart, etc. Many of us have decried jobs being exported overseas. Here is one in the US that pays a decent wage. I agree this position is paying lower than the norm for our profession, but is is still a decent wage. Many in this country would *LOVE* to be making 63K anually. With some frugality, one can live quite nicely on $63k/year in a market such as KC. One could probably *not* do that in DC, Boston, Chicago, etc. If I were currently unemployed, I would strongly consider this especially if I had permanent residence elsewhere. With the advantage of being able to say almost all living expenses were work related and the associated tax benefits, the effective pay rate would be much higher that $34/hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
