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. O Olivia S.
