That is not to say that increased responsibility is for everyone.
Mo(re) Money Mo(re) Problems.

Some folks are happy with whatever living standard they're at and have turned down pay raises. Hell! Some folks I know can go to DC/VA and increase their wages substantially however; DC AO is NOT their cup-of-tea and it damn sure ain't mine!

WTF is a living wage? I've been out in the field with not-a-pot-to-piss-in nor a-window-to-throw-it-out-of: and was happier than some folks making more than a living wage.

GO GET YOUR OWN DAMN WEALTH (whatever that may be) AND LEAVE MINE ALONE!
