Karen-If I had a nickel for every time I heard that during my training, I
wouldn't need to work now at all!  And I'm sure there are a few people who
still wonder when I'll get a real job.  (As if this week of dealing with
clueless new students weren't real enough...)

I'm hoping for the day when these people who have so-called real jobs
(especially those in the NC State Legislature) realize that some of us in
the University system are worth every penny and then some.
