All of the comments about poor salaries reminds me of an essay by
an English prof I had many years.  In one part he talked about that thought
so familiar to most of us:  "If only we had the money to pay you what
you're really worth."  Nonsense, he continued, society pays you exactly
what it thinks you're worth.  :-{
