Data is higher for Full Time workers, and the higher the age the more money (except a slight decline above age 60), and embarassingly low for women (and me, but I am better of than 7 years ago, even if just hanging in there)

MORE ABOUT MY SITUATION
ARCHURE IS EMPLOYED, AND LOVES HIS JOB (and the company) but just took cuts in pay (in several respects)

I still like the company I work for, and I don't know if I can find anything better (doubtful), but my Mom (a former Human Resources Manager for City of Los Angeles) says I should start looking for another job, which is a shame, because I love my job, but at the same time, whats a worker to do?

With cutbacks in the face of all this inflation, what is a worker to do?

#A: Most Bachelor degreed persons work in a field outside their major
BACHELOR DEGREE note: I.T.T. provides an accredited diploma 3 year Bachelor degree, with 3 years of solid Major. Most colleges supply 3 years of Major and one year of General Requirements (US History, Speech, Health, Arts, Social Science). I already have the one year of General Requirements (and more) from my 2 Associate degrees at Saddleback. I easily have the equivalent to a 4 year Bachelor degree (actually much more). I.T.T. provides an excellent education, suitable for work on U.S. Government Contracts with Major Corporations. I.T.T. has a National Accreditation, not a State Accreditation like most colleges.

#B: I have 6+ years of higher education with Honors RESUME
And many years of experience, with a high IQ level I.Q.Info
this makes me way more valuable than an average Bachelor degreed person.

#C: Nevada and California are not disadvantaged states (study the various chart data in any Almanacs). (New Mexico on the other hand, is a disadvantaged state as far as per capita income). The pay in Western states is not much lower than the East (which is slightly above average pay). More data at http://www.bls.gov

EQUALITY for ALL, or at least for me (this incarnation please). I have worked hard and studied hard all of my life. I am deserving of at least Equality, and am well worth it.
