| #8 $170 k, probably half cash and half benefits, so $85 k after 10-20 years work. So $40+ per hour? Sounds like good pay for the work required. Now if they are doing roofing in Texas in the summer… |

| #2 ...Nobody is reading the fine print. That 170k is salary and benefits. No UPS driver is going to bring home that much in cash. Mike |
