It may take them 20 years to understand this fact. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #132,666 by tablizer 12/29/03 4:07:33 PM Reply	That might be tough Many professions protect their ass at the expense of consumers and customers. Orthodontists, lawyers, and just about any unionized or licensed professional do it. Why should IT be any different? If they drop their wage protections, then maybe programmers COULD live on $10 an hour. The most important thing to know is that if we don't protect our political behinds, nobody else will. Brains are becomming a cheap commodity. ________________ oop.ismad.com
