Comment No SUV, but... (Score 1) 810
I work in the IT Dept for a local govt agency.
The pay is slightly below the mean for this market and my skills, 5 yrs exp., A+, Linux+, MCSE.
Private sector guys are always whizzing by me in their new SUVs while I hum along in my Saturn.
There is disdain in this town (Charlotte,NC) for anyone making less than 100k or anyone whose car is more than two years old or gets more than 10 mpg.
Now, the hotshots are stay at home Dads while I'm still employed and quite secure.
So, which is better? 90k per year then a layoff? Or, 60k per year but a stable job with low stress, and home by 4:30 every day?
