Maybe it just seems off balance to me, pay in my field of work has been pretty much stagnant for those same 15 years. Many places it has actually gone down. Guess I should have went to college. Cost of everything goes up, pay stays the same=major suck.
Mine too. I haven't had an increase in income in many years. Of course, everyone around here will be uplifted to hear that, since I work in a public school.
