It's all about supply and demand.
I don't think I am my friend. While day to day this job isn't necessarily difficult, it carries tremendous responsibility. Compared to most other jobs the tolerance for error is basically nil. Its the most scrutinized profession in the country and for good reason. When things actually do go wrong the consequences are disastrous and permanent. We should be trying to raise our standards not make excuses for keeping them low. How can you claim in the same breath that you deserve to get paid more yet there isn't much to your job in the first place?
People in here need to stop getting caught in the group mentality that were blue collar laborers and nothing more. Self fulfilling prophecy.
