extensive qualifications list deleted...

Do these people really think they can hire someone with the required
qualifications for a paltry $3K a month?  Especially for Senior level
positions?
 
(Yes, I know it said 3K or more, but it's still rather low)



** STARTING ** salaries for fresh B.S.'s start around there in many
computer companies.

Besides that, [no flame intended for the poster] you'd have to live in Texas!
