Re: Pulling it slightly OT: TW Salaries--Is it me, or are people greedier (Mild Vent)

I guess that makes me nobody. :-) Granted, I've only been here a week, but I
haven't heard anything that makes me think I'll have to do without any of these
three categories entirely (and I'm not sure I'd categorize myself as "*really*
good at this," either).

There's being realistic, and then there's settling for less than you can get. I
suppose the trick is to know when you're in which situation?
