Hell, If I could do programming at home in my jammies for $30,000 a
year I would jump on it.
I worked my butt off for a lot less than that.
Meh - supply and demand. Market economics. Call it what you will. The
key phrase you use is, 'If I could'. Philipp is correct. You'd struggle
to get a junior programmer for $20K pa and you wouldn't hold onto them
on that wage for long. I suppose the logical conclusion would be to
outsource to India or another outsourcing location.
Actually, Novell did that. Last year they fired something like 200 people
in the USA and I guess they hired some in the "far east".
I think that just about sums up (pun intended) the futility of an
openSUSE LTS edition.
Dunno... I just hope they don't outsource it, I like the chaps that are at
SuSE right now.
