Heh. Well, I didn't mean money wasn't a priority at all. :-)
It's just not the reason I chose to get into programming in the first place, and a higher salary is something that I'm willing to forego in place of other things (flexible hours, enjoyable/interesting subject matter, the freedom to work on self-directed projects, coworkers I enjoy collaborating with, etc.).
I had almost everything at NWA (including decent pay and flight bennies that I didn't use), which is one reason why I want to go back. Eventually.

I already vacuum and do the bathrooms and litterboxes, but I did that before I was axed. I don't mind it as much as she does. :-)
