so.. let me see if i get this right. you work hard through high school... study, long hours pounding code... to better prepare for college... get to college, which charges an arm & a leg since you'd rather not be in state school... study harder... working 2 or 3 jobs to pay the bills... then get out of college, with a debt load of $100k or more unless mommy & daddy were paying for it... and get a job. at which point, the business weenie across the desk will do everything he can to get your skills at a lower cost... finding the balancing point that YOU will accept in order for HIM to get his position filled.Originally Posted by 'Draku',index.php?page=Thread&postID=78160#post781 60
then.. you get married.. get a house... a car.. kids.. clothes, food, insurances, dental bills.. and then ... college.. AGAIN.. but this time not just for 1 (yourself) but for each of your kids (unless they have a set and work to pay for it or get lucky and get a ride)
now, at what point in this scenario would money become unimportant? hmm... i know, just after you pick up that pre-scratched winning lottery ticket (or your employer gets bought out with you holding equity... which you would only have if you cared about compensation)
seriously, take a swig of some strong coffee and look at the world without the rosey filters. the employers that 'realize' there is more to attract people then $$.. are the ones looking to ship development offshore or hire straight out of college when the people are really still kids and don't have a debt load yet.

oh.. and i'm pretty sure Ellay wouldn't be too happy about trying to siphon people to another site.
this site is about building the community... siphoning members would be an attempt to splinter it, and that is definitely discouraged (or stronger)
