If I only accepted jobs when I was paid more than the last one I'd either be rich or unemployed. I'm guessing that I'd be unemployed... I have minimums obviously. I certainly don't have maximums! There's certainly no lovely smooth pay curve in this job. As long as I don't think I'm being taken advantage of I'll take a job. Of course I have standards. I wouldn't work for below the BAJR guidelines. Of course, if we had an effective and knowledgeable union we could sort the bastards out. Until then I'll use my own judgement I guess. And sometimes that means being paid less than the last job. Sorry. Boring post. Obvious answer.
actually, this was well said *applauds*
