    I've always been paid salary, which means I get paid the same no matter
    what day it is or what time I work.

    Actual amounts depend on where you are. You'll be paid more if the cost
    of living is high, less if it's not.

    I started at $50K in 1998 and am now at $73K. The median income around
    here is $65K.

    Research the cost of living and average salaries for your area, or your
    future employer might gyp you. When I got hired at $50K I thought that
    was okay, if a little on the low side, until I found out that my co-
    worker was making just $35K!! I think the people downstairs heard my
    jaw hit the floor when I heard about that. That would be okay in some
    place like rural Idaho, but around here that's foodstamp level income.
