</div>Yeah, that was also something that worried me. Like Michael said<br>
upthread, it does sound like a place that is used to having one person<br>
that does all of the things that get perceived as "computer stuff". I<br>
had a job somewhat like that in college, and it was a lot of fun and I<br>
learned a lot, but I wouldn't be that person for just any place. It<br>
would have to be freaking fantastic. For something freaking fantastic,<br>
I would be willing to be paid considerably less.<br>
<br>
I think the discussion on the list could help the recruiter manage his<br>
expectations.<br>
