Joe was the topic in a Maumee Dearest cartoon on the 13th and he is mentioned as well as pictured in today's Blade.

Thanks for the link to the cartoon!

However, (and, this is not directed at you Lisa) what has the fact that someone has another income stream have to do with the salary being paid for any job?

The job is worth what the job is worth, pure and simple.

Furthermore, maybe a premium should be paid, for prior experience.

What kind of candidates do you think you could get to apply for any position when the pay varied because of other income factors?

There are at least two sides to this coin, and most of them are quite sticky. . .
