No, this is not about Leilani, but maybe it will make a few of my old friends who read this laugh, at least if the remember my job as data-janitor at Sun.<\/p>\n
There is a letter to Dear Abby today, stating: “…there is actually a shortage of skilled tradespeople these days. IT jobs pay well and are constantly in demand. As my grandmother used to say, Everyone needs a plumber when the toilet’s clogged.” (I’m not making it up, go to DearAbby.com<\/a> and select today’s date)<\/p>\n And it goes on…. And Dear Abby answers. Although I must say, they were not talking about Information Technology, but Internet technology: “…cosmetology or skilled trades, such as Internet technology and carpentry…”<\/p>\n The sad part is, it is fully true, and the pay shows it. If I’d outsource the few web design projects I have it would cost me about $1000 for a guy in India full time for a month, and everyone but me seems to do it too. On the other hand if I’d hire a cleaning lady for an hour a day for a month I’d pay $1000 (inc. tip, exc. Sundays).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No, this is not about Leilani, but maybe it will make a few of my old friends who read this laugh, at least if the remember my job as data-janitor at Sun.
