There is a myth that scientists are well paid, in reality we are not, but we are clever enough to know a good bargain when we see one :razz: :razz:

@Dazzler: It looks fantastic only on paper...
               Otherwise it`s OK and I like what I do and enjoy it.

@bumpkin: I totally agree with you. The work is fine, only then paycheck at the end of the month could be way better...

I Know where you are coming from.. I have Managed a Bank, a Finance Company, an Electrical Store, a Rental Business, A Tile Shop and a Roofing Centre..  :cool:

They say "run it like it were your own business" but when it comes to the crunch they don't want you to change anything or spend any money  :rolleyes:

Then.. you work longer hours than anyone else but some of your staff end up earning more because they get overtime... :eek:

No wonder I decided to retire early and just do a bit of part time sales... :mrgreen:

Sounds like a very interesting occupation  :D

I hate speed humps but can see the need is some back streets which would otherwise become race tracks...
