that's pretty much it. i'd say most people would agree that working for 2/3's of what everyone else gets and working on a five-year contract in a field that's usually based on working for a career of 30 years or more and being thrilled about it is a little strange. must be that 2-year upgrade.

now i sould say that you guys work for closer to 3/4's these days. thanks very much for helping make that a reality for those of us who used to make good money and had retirements.
