<DIV>The UT job starts at $31,000. Similar positions at other universities h=
ave
advertised similar pay scales. I was fortunate to start a little higher. But=

don't see me getting anything else in the way of a pay raise. </DIV>
<DIV><BR>This has been brought up before on this list. Are there any of you =
that
have received pay raises for doing a good job, or as a change in your status=
?
