New Everyone is entitled
to have the OPPORTUNITY to better their salary, no matter what field they work in. For some fields, $50K a year would be very good; for others, $50K is entry level. In the suburbs of Chicago in the mid 1990s, there was a school district where the median salary of the high school teachers was $64,000. Can you say "we're willing to pay what we believe someone is worth"? I know you can.

Tell me, why do you want to put a hard ceiling on a person's annual salary in a specific field - yout trying to get more PHBs to outsource jobs to Asia and Eastern Europe?

New Why do you keep talking about hard ceiling?
For all we know, Balmer meant "average" or "prevailing". I, for sure, never proposed a "hard ceiling"
