Porritt >> Who said making $75,000 is called "gouging the public"? A salesman sells things. He sell as much as the public wants to buy, as long there are things to sell. Technicians, on the other hand, can only sell one thing, time. And if a technician works 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and charges $50.00 per hour, then he can make $156,000 a year too. Wim
