Jim - Re: "I'm just glad to see people who contribute to actually "making something with their hands" rewarded. This includes all the tech sectors." The past 10 years has brought untold rewards to may technologists - as you note. Much of the stigma of being "technical" has been removed from society - at least from a money-earning standpoint. However, there is still a lot of disdain by the masses - for anybody with half an ounce of common sense and a functional brain that is actually put to use. Paul

Jim, RE: Back when I went to college...if you were a hard science major you were lucky to get a job paying much..often you had to stay in academics... On the other hand, if you majored in something that directly specialized in extracting money from humans, you could get rich. I was a chemistry major. All of my offers in the field were PhD track. So instead, I went to business school and attempted to learn to extract money from humans. Fortunately, they managed to teach me a few other things, because I stunk at extracting money from anyone.
