I'd say for a master's degree, couldn't they at least do it for $10 an
hour?  Perhaps as it is part-time, that's the best that they can do?
It's a toughie.  I don't think it devalues, but it is perhaps an attempt
to start something where it never existed before?   But let me tell you,
for all that responsibility at $7.25 an hour, you may as well go flip
burgers at $5.75.  Now don't you all get mad at me, but I think Anita has
a big point.
