Hey Einstein, I don't pay a dime to live in Hoboken, and the point is to not "suck it up and take it", the pay needs to change, not my address. The reference was in comparative salaries and Cost of living, and where this industry has led us not how much I am personally paying to live in Hoboken. Yeah I could move to some bayou in Louisiana and have the largest trailer in the park, but for what we do as a profession we should expect more.
Again, just tired of having to justify everything I do, or justifying money I don't have for the "potential" to make money, when in reality that "potential" to make money is lessening every day.
