When I was first tier HPUX/Solaris support at HP in 2001 we got around $28/hr
(which was _really_ good for the several bozos in the team who didn't know how
to change a password much less build and mount a raid array). Night shift got a
bit more. That sucked for first shift who had to clean up after 3rd shift
screw-ups.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that he couldn't get anyone good for even twice that for a day job he<br>
responded that he does get people all the time. To me that explained<br>
why HP phone support first level was so clueless at the time. I'm sure<br>
by now they've raised it to $12.25 or so...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
