upper Midwest...
sure, I could work for supertech wages (one reason I relocated here, to
relieve the salary pressure) and have submitted my resume for jobs which
would represent up to a 75% pay cut (that's right, willing to work for 25
cents on the dollar I was making)...so far, nothing (except a little
substitute teaching...that would be 25 cents on the dollar IF it were
consistent, unfortunately it is sporadic as they have over 1,000 subs
registered in this area)

BTW--a REAL supertech would probably be much quicker at finding most
problems than I would be...slightly different mindset for techs vs.
engineers...of course, I'm sure I could find much tougher ones!

of
automation I was involved in hasn't displaced people in the last 10-15
years
(it did initially) instead merely kept from creating rather mundane,
repetitive jobs in favor of creating (fewer) jobs that required "super"
techs to fill them.



What part of the world do you live?
Could you work for "super tech" wages?
Sorta the compromise that is made from time to time, all the time.
