It could be worse

She could have a degree in childhood development. Appropriate for a childcare worker. People in that job love it, but the pay, well, as a society we don't realize that there is more to the job than just babysitting...

Cheers,

PS You haven't peaked your lifetime earning potential yet. Take a look at [link|http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/06/11/24FEcompsurv_1.html?s=feature|http://www.infoworld..._1.html?s=feature] and see some of the options for moving up. Also if you did the same job in this city, you'd get paid more. (Life would cost more as well - so it probably isn't a win.) As for Susan, while social services tops out, her skills could also segue into alternate careers. For instance a school counselor probably makes somewhat more.

To deny the indirect purchaser, who in this case is the ultimate purchaser, the right to seek relief from unlawful conduct, would essentially remove the word consumer from the Consumer Protection Act
