I know the thread is dead, but I just got back and I have to say just one thing:
I don't disagree with your sentiment here. Except for the fact that the OP was not _offered a job_ for $20/hr. He/she was posting publicly that $20/hr was his/her rate. That's a terrible disservice to him/herself, and to the other CFers out there. Peace. Love. Let the liquor flow!
