Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked
a young Engineer fresh out of Texas A&M, "And what starting salary
were you looking for?" The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of
$125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer
said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14
paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement
fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2 years --
say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are
you kidding?" And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."
