needles to say, i turned them down

i met with a headhunting agency about two weeks ago. at the meeting, they tried to convince me that the whole bear stearns thing wasn't a big deal and finance is a very healthy industry right now.

today, they called and offered a "great compliance representative position at a GREAT company. starting at $40K!"

i have a MASTERS DEGREE. in PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. and you want me to start at $40K in a struggling industry. thanks for the help! ass.
