@inkswampWow, I bet you felt so proud when you left that reply. Captain Truth, Defender of Logic, donning his superhero cape and screaming into action, picking apart the Bad Logic of someone's post. The only problem is, you didn't even bother to understand what the hell I said before you tried to tear it down.You accused me of 4 "presumptions", but you must've dug them out of your ass, because NONE OF THEM are things that I said OR EVEN IMPLIED!!. In fact, they're plainly false. Of course, that's the essence of a straw-man argument: Falsely attribute a statement (or in your case FOUR statements) to your opponent, then proceed to tear down that statement AS IF you're tearing down the original argument.Let's examine the presumptions you claim I made versus what I actually said:1. IQ and education equals talent and skill.This is clearly not what I said. First of all, I never even *mentioned* education, so I have no idea where you even got that. What I did say is that it sucks when someone whose "skill level/IQ/talent/productivity" is less than yours makes more money than you. I guess I have to explain what the slashes mean for the mentally impaired. I meant "skill level AND/OR IQ AND/OR talent AND/OR productivity." I thought this was fairly obvious and self-explanatory, but even if it was unclear to you what was meant, why the hell would you ASSUME you knew what it meant, and then proceed to assail my logic based on that assumption???My true beliefs on the matter of whether or not IQ and education equate to talent and skill are as follows: IQ and education don't necessarily equate to greater skill, but they sure do help. As for talent, that is, by definition, something inherent in a person, and thus has little or nothing to do with education.2. Talent and skill are mutually exclusive from experience.WTF???!??!?!! You must have smoked a whole bag of crack before reading my comment, if THAT'S what you came away with. All I said that skill is not solely a function of number of years of experience. After 10 years of working in a given field, there will be some people that take more away from it (in terms of increased knowledge and skill) than others. My point was that employers should not look at years of experience as the be-all, end-all. They should be more adept at gauging someone's actual skill level, and not just assume that someone with 10 years of experience is more valuable than someone with 7, for example.3. Employers undervalue skills and talent at the expense of experience, seeing it as a zero-sum game.This is perhaps the least offensive of your straw man arguments, since I actually do agree in part with this statement. Yes, employers DO tend to focus too much on experience, blindly assuming that it is equivalent to skill. However, I never said they view it as a zero-sum game, or that they look exclusively at experience in determining pay. Whether they do or not, and the extent to which they do varies from company to company, but in general, the companies I've worked at (of which there are several, the last 2 of which are the 2 largest companies in my industry), do tend to overemphasize experience. By the way, when I say experience, I mean number of years on the job. Experience has a connotation of increased skill and knowledge, but as I've said, this isn't always the case.4. Employers shouldn't value experience or loyalty as much as they do.Again, you're trying to sneak words into my mouth. Loyalty? Huh? I didn't even mention loyalty, so how can you say I made a presumption regarding loyalty? As for experience, I didn't say that employers should disregard experience, only that they should place less emphasis on it and more emphasis on actual skill level. And again, I'm talking about experience as in the number of years on the job, not in any other sense of the word.Next time, before you don your imaginary superhero cape and set about knocking down someone's "false presumptions", make sure you've at least bothered to actually *understand* what was said! Straw-man arguments only serve to make YOU look stupid. They don't even scathe the person you're making them against.

I should be making double what I'm making now, but considering I literally work an hour out of the eight hours I'm there, I guess I shouldn't complain.

The site is really unreliable as a data source. Though it is funny. Try www.salarytrack.co.uk - it uses real time market data. Much more accurate.

This is a solid tool. Also use the free salary assessment at www.salary.com and that will allow comparison to job title, levels of responsibility and provides graph not only on the average, but also the lower and upper ranges of the job. This gives a solid view of the role, what the title and responsibilities are, coupled with compensation.
