That's always been *my* gut instinct, also -- but one must also take into
consideration others' perceptions. *You* may know you're a professional
and should be treated (and compensated) accordingly, but if your employers
(city hall, university, what have you) do *not* see you as a professional
and treat (compensate) you on that basis, that's NOT so good. It's not
just being accorded the dignity and authority commensurate with one's
professional standing, it's being PAID on a scale commensurate with same.
Of course, if you have to convince yourself first that you are in a
