Re[2]: Open health physics position at NYSDEC

[Steven.Rima@DOEGJPO.COM (Steven Rima)]

     I don't know if the salary is a joke (it doesn't appear to be) but I 
     wonder, how many of these kinds of positions go unfilled? Is this a 
     typical salary for such a state government position? I do know that I 
     pay more than this for non-degreed field technicians, and the cost of 
     living is significantly lower in Colorado than in NYC.
     
     I would find it difficult to recommend health physics to someone as a 
     career with these kinds of "opportunities."
