[kictanet] Just A Thought!

[David Makali]

Folks, 
I think the person who offered that job of 8k should
be congratulated. S/he is an entrepreneur. Jobs are
offered to willing takers and i suppose as we go on an
on here, there are already applicants or the slots
have already been filled.  I don't understand what
this whole saga is about: how many of you ventilating
on this offer pay your house helps that amount? Yet
they most likely work more hours? And guards? 

Maurice is spot on: pay has to be relative to the
income generated. Its take it or leave it. That is not
to advocate prejudice or injustice; its being
pragmatic in today's world.
Lets move on.
David
