John,
If you do have certain opinions, kindly refrain from
displaying them on this, or any other list.
I see your point, the shifting of jobs etc., must be
pinching, but, what the heck, these are just a sign of
the demand&supply market trying to balance itself out.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is Market Economics.
If somebody is not worth the money being asked for,
believe me, nobody will pay them that much.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That is also Market Economics.
Also, as an aside, do not base your opinions regarding
a whole lot of people on just a single (or a handful)
of your experiences.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is not Market Economics, but a Lesson on Life.
Regards,
Parul
