That's true, but NOBODY in this sector is actually paid anything like
their true worth.  The skills and knowledge we can bring to a company
should receive adequate recompense, but most companies will not pay
their technical staff even half as much as their "HR" idiots and
middle-management knuckle-draggers!

As an example, my daughter (MSc, 24 years old) generated in excess of
£8m of business in a year, and was paid slightly over £31k to do it.
The "HR" wallah who "let her go" last week earns £88k a year, and does
NOTHING worthwhile to earn it.  He's still got his job...
