Kirk, I started out a $4,200 a year, full time, in 1968. Retired 30 years later at $38,500.
At the beginning of my 5th year a friend offered me $100,000 as year, jet at my disposal, a castle in Spain, condo on the Gulf of California, in Mexico and an office with a comute of only 20 miles each day, from my home on Monmouth, Oregon.
I turned it down, because I wanted to be an educator. Did I succeed? I think so. Do I miss something I never had? Nope!
How about the sign progress?
