So you can speak in absolutes, but he can not? The longer I work, the more I realize my mentor's advice to keep a good log book. I would argue that between paying attention, taking notes and knowing how to find information without help, a person with aptitude can avoid most repetition when learning a new job. Personally, I have no problem with Mr Nelson's comment. If it scares off a few people who expect more hand holding, it's accomplished what he's probably hoping for. As for the pay, it's clearly an entry level position. $35k is not bad for a student or recent (liberal arts) graduate. $60k is a pretty generous offer considering how many times the word "learn" was used instead of "know". -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
