[rescue] What am I worth in America ?

[Tom Borton]

I live in the Washington, DC area and tech jobs here aren't doing too
badly because they are tied to the defense industry (yes, I'm a
blood-sucking defense contractor in my day job), but having MCSE will
hurt and they like a BSEE or BSCS (or equivalent).  Then again, the
small company I work for has a system admin that (I don't believe) has
either.

The cost of living is high, although not at the nosebleed-level James
mentioned.

by half in the last few months. but unfortunately there arent any jobs
