That's after spending a long time in school. You should get paid by your skill level not what the unions can milk employers for.
$28.00 an hour = $17.00-$18.00 in the bay area.
Yea, you have to put effort into making decent money not thinking since your father, grandfather.. have x amount of time vested in GM, Ford or Mopar. you DESERVE $40.00 an hour.
I went back to school when I was 30 because I was at the top of my pay scale. I was complacent thinking I could support a wife and two daughters on the wages I was earning.
It seems fair to me that it takes some effort on your part..

You must know some upper level techs. After 8 yrs at intel I was up to $20 an hr. They have not given crap for raises in the last 7 yrs. I would love $28 an hour, or any job for that fact now......
