    if you have to "pay attention" to the radio, you're doing it wrong.

    if you have to look at the passenger to talk to them, you're also doing it wrong.

    I've been rear ended three times by people on cell phones. I actually saw all three in my rear view (I was stopped), before they hit me. Want to guess what EVERY SINGLE ONE failed to mention in the police report?

    "while distracted driving is a problem, navigation aids do more good than harm"

    if you're not looking at the road ahead, you are doing more harm than good. don't pretend otherwise.

    you know, I thought the same thing while the .com bubble was rocking. In retrospect, I say make hay while the sun shines and extract as much money from them when you can while you can. I can assure you they will afford you that complementary courtesy when the bubble turns, not matter how you behave when it's your turn.

    " I take them from a fixed pool..."

    poor salaries decrease the size of the pool, as sister poster notes.

    moreover, who cares about the size of the pool. you don't have to 'mint' anything. offer more money and drink someone else's milkshake. if you can't figure that out, I have no idea why they hired you.

    "You likely hit a bubble where the market for people competent, and more importantly willing and interested in doing that sort of work was frothy and you incorrectly think that's 'normal'."

    Ah, so one would naturally expect that to be the case right now when employers simply "can't find anyone." Terribly curious how it isn't, no?
