Re: Job Ad (19-26k)

I agree. I called on an ad in the SF Bay area this week, just to make sure
it wasn't a misprint. This was a 3 month contract for a senior technical
writier with Interleaf (which I don't have), electronics experience (which
I have), and Dutch language (which I also have). The rate was $22 to $24 an
hour.
