Well...  4 years ago I was making about 13K a year doing Cisco, Microsoft
and Unix for Uncle Sam.  I say if the people are willing to leave the
Networking field due to job dissatisfaction, all the better for me.  That
sounds great for my future, but I really don't believe it will happen in
significant enough a number to be a silver lining in my bank account. 
Leaving networking for Real Estate.  ok..  switching back to Unix and still
making great money.  Good Lord.  What a great life it is to be able to do
that.  My frame of reference must just be so dramatically different from a
lot of the other's here.  I don't understand what all the griping is about.
I read a quote in an article the other day that just rings totally true to
me.  "Nobody is worth $200,000 a year. NOBODY. " If you can get it, more
power to you.  But if you were getting that or $100,000 a year and suddenly
you can't and the only thing you can get is a 70K or 80 K job...  Even in
another area..  That's astounding to me that you would be so upset . But
maybe it's why you made that kind of money and I never have.  You believe
you can  and I'm smiling all the way to the bank with less.  I guess the
picture all depends on the angle you are viewing it from.
