We are on steps and start at the bottom no matter your knowledge. That hurt bd when I started here because I was at top when the other school went private. I am now back to the pay I was when I left there. The other guy makes almost 2 dollars an hour more right now with the step he is on and the position gives him another 2 dollars on top of that. I have 6 more year steps to go to be at the top here. Sadly I am now making what I was making back in 2009
