Wally, When you said "Huh?" I thought you were wondering what RAs are and why CTown was saying they were underpaid and under apreciated.

And Amen to what you said about everyone being important, no matter what their role is. Even the lowly architect is important.

"After all this, RA's usually get paid less than High School drop-outs working in a factory. This is what Wally means by under-paid, and under apreciated. I'm not knocking factory workers, but an 18 year old tightening bolts shouldn't be making twice as much as a 32 year old responsible for multi-million dollar projects, after paying his dues through college and exams. IMHO"

Actually "Wally" only asked "Huh?" and never stated anything about factory workers vs so-called professionals....but while we are on the subject...I do fall into that classification as a highschool dropout/factory worker.....who also RETIRED at 55. How many professionals you know that were able to retire at 55? Folks make choices in life and it takes all kinds to make our world tick...and everyone is important no matter what their role is.
