seems to me, most want a position instead of the opportunity to build a career. cream alway rises to the top. if your current employer wont pay fair market value, chances are the competitors will (or your not worth what you think you are in that industry). supply/demand........same as it ever was...............

i come from the background where you choose a profession and work your ass off. i don't stress that there are tons of people out there makes WAY more for WAY less effort. my arrangement is with my boss. if that arrangement no longer works for him, he can fire me. if that arrangement no longer works for me, i can fire him.

cheers,
