[1st-mile-nm] Hiring: Technology and Network Coordinator at UNM

[Dale Carstensen]

Come on, folks, the almighty dollar isn't everything.  You sound like
so many here in Los Alamos.  The aggregate "we" of Los Alamos seem to
need everything in the gold, platinum, diamond, first-class option (I'm
not very comfortable lately being part of that "we".)  Oh, and
perfectly green, too, even if we have to waste precious desert water
to make the literally green grass.  We claim we'll do everything
LEED-style, while demolishing useful houses and hauling the materials
to our landfill -- oh, wait, we had to close that and will now be
hauling trash to, oh, I don't know, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas (why is
a Spanish word ending in "a" masculine??), somewhere we can get to
by polluting and burning lots of carbonaceous fuel.

Sure, Bill Gates has a gazil-whatever square foot house on a lake
with oodles of acres around it, but Warren Buffet lives on a fraction
of an acre in a house that cost under $500,000 when it was built, and
suffers the embarassment of living over 20 miles from an ocean.  They
swap which is number 1 and number 2 in the world's richest category.
President Obama's mother produced a president while she was a single mom
deserted by his father and part of the time on welfare, and never
saw any offer anywhere near $2,915 per month.  Who should the world
admire?  How about Muhammed Yunus from Bengladesh who won a Nobel Peace
Prize for his micro-loan idea?

The more UNM spends on salaries, the more students have to pay in
tuition.  The President of UNM certainly has an obscenely bloated
salary, when seen in that perspective.

Another hint, watch out for buildings that cost $500+ per square foot
to build, too!  But I suppose that's so the lowly carpenter, mason,
plumber, electrician, etc. avoids suffering with too little in pay, too.
Not to mention the architect.
