To this thread, yes, it's all true, like Andy we have our old war stories
on how little we managed to live on when we first started; perhaps the
thing we all need to learn is to negotiate our salaries; maybe that's
what they're looking for; once they realize that we all think the pay is
puny, they just might upscale it.  It all goes back to the idea that we
love our jobs and will do it for peanuts.  I don't think that's true
anymore.
