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.

In Chicago area, $63K is almost enough to starve to death with a
little dignity. Maybe a clean bowling shirt when they bury you?

Rick:
In this weeks (4/30/07) InformationWeek There is an article about US
salary's, although it does talk about some US types getting 100K+ it
does say the median salary for IT types is US 78K.
(www.informationweek.com) The six figure club. I did not check to see
if its web available yet (it usually lags by 4-5 days) but the name
of the article is The SIX-FIGURE CLUB (Chris Murphy) gives an idea
what salaries are generally in the US.
