It's interesting that the starting salaries are not significantly higher than they were 15 years ago.-----Original Message-----I admire your ideals, but question how long they'd last if you tried to support a family in CA with $40K/year.

Hi allTalking about salaries, I just wanted to point out that I have put together some current and prior salary info at:
http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/pay1.htm
the HP salary surveys I have read do not take into account differences in cost of living and should be factored in when comparing salaries.
Of course, we still have our job info at: http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/hpjob.htm
throwing my 2 cents into the discussion, I have worked at several jobs over the last few years, and to me, money is not the most important aspect of a job or my life. I would rather have a good work environment, good health benefits, good area to live in, and fulfilling work than a high salary. I have found that almost always, the higher the salary, the higher the stress level too. Anyway, I work to live, not live to work - there is more to life than money.
