    Attitude and wages have a direct correlation. As an employer, you pay for the attitude you get.

      You would think so, but the other people in the same job were gung-ho for it. It was bizarre. And I basically spent my evenings documenting tragedies when it wasn’t sports (and I hate sports), so it took a serious psychological toll, which it should have for anyone who wasn’t the apparent psychopaths I was working with.

        outrageous, I can’t believe anyone in television journalism, a fairly high profile position, would be paid only $7.75 an hour. I often wonder how much those people on TV are earning. I always imagine theyre all multimillionaires in amazing houses with amazing cars.

          It’s a small town, so I didn’t expect $90,000 a year or anything, but you’d think they’d pay a little more than they did. But I really needed a job at the time.
