[Histonet] Temporary Histology Position Open (South Dakota St ate University)

[Favara, Cynthia (NIH/NIAID)]

Can't resist my opinion. Rural America and for that matter the inner cities
are a world apart. Here in Montana although many of us are somewhat well
paid the pay scale is below most places and I imagine South Dakota is below
Montana - just a guess. There is a pervasive mentality that if you can't
survive you do not belong here. I see a far greater difference between the
haves and have nots. 

In addition I have a daughter living and working in NYC that feels lucky to
have a job in her profession[photography] at $6.00/hour just to get her foot
in the door, and yes she is very well educated and certified etc!

Low pay scales and the investment market means I will be working for a long
time and happy if I can keep my job!

Happy Holidays to all!!!
