Workin' in a coal mine

Using the handy free services of Salary.com, I have just learned that I was underpaid during my tenure at the Citadel of Despair.

I have always been underpaid, no matter what my job, since graduating college. For example, I found out I was paid $10,000 a year less than my male counterparts at one of my gigs - of course, that info came too late for me to do anything about it. Is it any wonder I resent working for other people when they don't pay what I'm worth and I know it? And now I'm embarking on a notoriously underpaid profession. What the hell's wrong with me?

Actually, coal mines pay really well...

"The median expected salary for a typical Systems Administrator in Portland, OR 97212, is $64,382."

*laughter* Oh, that's the best comedy site since The Onion! Go on, tell me what an IT Manager makes!

Is it too high, or too low?

I make about $42k. And that's after some serious wrangling over two of the last four years come raise time.

I can't believe it, another inaccurate web site :)
