RE: Re[2]: Open health physics position at NYSDEC

["Dunn, Wes" <WDunn@intiso.com>]

Unfortunately, that is not an atypical salary for state agencies.  It
makes it very difficult to recruit and retain qualified HPs.  That
salary is about the salary for mid-range HP positions (and requires 4-5
years experience) for the State of Texas.

	     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."
