Re: salary for entry level position...

[Michele <michele -at- krautgrrl -dot- com>]

If you want the job, I'd put it back in the recruiter's lap and ask what 
they are offering. What I usually say (and I'm an 18 year veteran of 
working with recruiters, did it even in college for English-to-French 
translation) is: "I'm not really sure what the market will bear, is this 
the best price?"

If you want the experience and the job, money shouldn't matter, as long 
as you have your needs met by your salary (i.e., food, clothing, 
rent/mortgage payment, etc.)

There is a book out that I want to get. It's about a woman in Los 
Angeles who was a teacher. She made $40K a year and saved $10K of it 
every year in order to help her disadvantaged students attend 
University. Can you imagine the discipline she must have had to save 1/4 
of her income to be spent on her students? It wasn't for her retirement 
or stocks or something that would sustain her as she grew older. It was 
money she saved and then it was gone. Wow!
