So tell me,how does it feel to be in the upper tax bracket? You're probably like Super Steve.... pressed white collar shirts,fancy ties,italian shoes..steaks,seafood,fine wines and cheeses for lunch? You pencil pushers/keyboard pressers must have college degrees...

I might actually be in an upper tax bracket if I didn't have so many mouths to feed. I'm still living paycheck-to-paycheck brother. Even with the pay raise that won't change anytime soon.

College degree? Only my PhD from the University of Hard Knocks.

However, I must give thanks to Uncle Sam's Airline for hooking me up with some good training.

A committee of beancounters determined that contracted network administration would be 40% cheaper than having a one-man in-house IT guy for a 20-computer network.

Pretty cool. I'm a Princeton Review LSAT instructor, and I make 17 bucks an hour. Not bad for college dude.

I don't know if I'll be able to keep the position (one year appointment), but we'll see.

You have the #2 rated job in Money Magazine's Best Job Ranking. I've thought about going back to school to become a college professor. My wife's cousin's husband is a Professor at Loyola. He spent an entire evening extolling the virtues of the profession and that it would be a great career change for me. Who knows....maybe one day.

So. You hire on with the contractor and make more money doing less work. At least that's how I've seen it work in the past.
