Just as an aside, the salary for my job where I work has been stagnant for about 10 years I believe.
Every year, we are poorer. (eventually you get promoted to another higher benchline, and get poorer every year after that because of no COL increases).
Interestingly, the VA is looking to hire A LOT of psychiatrists because of the huge number of mentally ill soldiers returning from overseas. From my vantage point, a tough sell became even tougher. I don't think they have raised their pay, and they are expecting guys to come it at 50-65% of private practice salary. And they wonder why positions are unfilled.
