As far as the numbers go, you couldn't survive anywhere in the United

Whoever did the math below greatly overestimated the minimum wage.
40 X 50 X $5.85 is $11,700, not $16,380.
40 X 50 X $9.50 is $19,000, not $26,600.

Gee,
India's per capita income may be less than $1,000 a year, but average salary
for IT newbie starts at $20,000 and for IT specialist (probably 15+ years

I thought this was interesting. What do you guys working in Georgia,
