Ladies and Gentlemen, How many of you would settle for $40,000 in this economy if you were already semi-retired, willing to move to a low cost of living area and bored to death with that semi-retirement? Or were already out of work and have exhausted your unemployment benefits?
Granted, I will be the first to say that a $40,000/yr salary *is not* appropriate for a younger man or woman with kids still in the nest. But let's be real, this can be just fine for some people under certain circumstances. In the past, salaries this low were just another ploy to validate H1B visa positions. But seeing that Eric posted the requirement, I'll take Eric's request as bona fide.

In other words, the salary was nowhere close to what it should have been for that position.
