Actually, I'm on 4th year pay but that's not the point. Sure I took every interview I got for experience, but I didn't go to the first company that came knockin. I was hired at places where second year pay was in the twenties, but I didn't want to contribute to de valuing this profession, plus I don't think this job is worth that. If people keep taking these low paying jobs just to "get in" there will eventually be no reason to be "in". If we can't afford to feed our families, what's the point?
