It is funny that because an area has a low cost of living that they may offer a lower salary. In many cases the areas with low costs of living are areas that (a) most people would not want to live in and (b) don't have a lot of qualified candidates locally. It would seem this would demand a higher than average salary not the opposite. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hollis, Les Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:34 PM To: rgramolini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; BAnderson@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: * Oracle DBA position available in AL...
