I know for a fact that the guy who cleans the toilets at my wife's office makes 60. the guy who pics up my trash makes over 60. A prep cook at SUN makes 60. The train conductor for the call-train makes 60, the security guard at the exploratorium makes 60. I know them all personaly, and I also know they all have 2 jobs. The Bay Area is EXPENSIVE to live in. I get squat compared to what most developers have been makeing here, but I don't mind so much becouse I live close to work, and my wife is a developer as well, we don't plan on having kids, which is a good thing becouse most of the people I know who did got their jobs axed, went bankrupt, moved back in with their parents, divorced. Lack of a reasonable income for your location can have that effect on a relationship. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
