I am paid $19.35 per hour. And from what I have been reading, that seems to be the norm, rather than the exception. Yes, it does seem like being an "hourly" employee seems like it is in the clerical category, I doubt very much any cleric gets paid $19.35 per hour. I think it is generally accepted that when someone makes close to $20 per hour, plus benefits, that person is more in the "professional" category. I realize here are acceptions, but I don't think you're going to find too many "unprofessional" people getting paid in the $15 -- $20 range.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> </body> </html>
