In response to Chris Benz on 9 Jan. 1995 who is responding to Laurie Mann:
Chris, you are right that a low-paying job like this is a good way to get in
the door. This hourly rate is about right for what is being paid co-op students
where I work. But, I must point out that for someone who has the skills
and talent and knowledge, this pay rate is low for the field. If prof. tech.
communicators take jobs at these low rates, we could be cutting our collective
throats. Lee B.
