First impressions (was: salary for entry level position)

Sankara,

We were both discussion initial or external impressions. I was 
refererring specifically to clothes and cars. You don't have to know 
people well to realize that their H2s are a waste of gasoline, 
destructive to the environment, and an impractical choice of vehicle.

IMO, You should never judge a person on their salary. Someone may work 
for, say, Children's Hospital for 35k a year whereas they could easily 
work for Giant Corp for 70k a year. Working at the Nonprofit they have 
more societal value than as an overpaid corporate robot. In fact, they 
probably get more accomplished, have more creativity, and receive much 
encouragement to move forward in their careers.

If I were a recruiter with the choice between two people, one who 
worked at each of the above locations, I'd go with the one who 
accomplished the most. Not the one with the best salaray (car, clothes, 
etc).

Of course, all this is hypothetical. If you are going to judge someone 
on a first impression, you really should use something more meaningful 
than their salary. Like maybe their hairstyle. (Yes, that's a joke.)

I wasnt talking of friends or people who know you
well so we really are talking head and tails of
the same coin; or recto and verso of the same
page.
