I thought that perhaps Christine was offering a reflection on the parlous
state of the recruitment business. If consultants are paid $17 per hour, can
we wonder that they don't fully understand the complexities of the Technical
Communicator's world?

In other words, no wonder job ads for TWs are often unrealistic; the people
who should be helping employers put together sensible job specs don't have a
clue themselves.
