Re: Bad Salary Omens

[Bill Swallow <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Exactly. I'd tend bar or work landscaping before taking a $15/hr tech
writing job. But others wouldn't entertain that. And yes, this market
rivals the early 1980s. But with Wall St. and the government thinking
the worst is behind us, I think we'll see offers like these for a
while until things actually do improve.
