My last comments on this matter: I *was not* endorsing taking this position at a sub-par rate. I was merely stating how I could understand that someone might have to take it to survive.
I agree, in principle, with all the comments about hanging together, etc. But principle be damned if it means someone can survive these hard times without going under.

IBM has us over a barrel, if no one applies then IBM (and others) can go to the government and say look we told you so there is a short of qualified people in the US, up the H1B numbers. Once that occurs we are toast as the H1Bs will work for peanuts. OR System Programmers go to work for IBM (and others) at a sub-par rate and IBM (and others) get what they want, qualified help and a cheap price. You could take the job and prolong it.
