Ya'know...I think about that time to time. We make what we make, and we don't have to worry about stopping a SME in the hallway (for a broken command line at 2am) and eating a 45 slug, running into a burning building for a document review, or confronting 45 inner-city developers for a training session and having one of them throw us out a 4th floor window. Yet most of us make substantially more than most of them. As they say, life isn't fair.
