Does your salary measure up to
your peers? Find out in our 16
th
annual salary survey, which
examines every facet of your
compensation, including a look
back at salaries in 2004 when
we first published our salary
survey. Beyond the dollar signs,
we also found that you can deal
with being overworked and
underpaid because of the pas-
sion you have for your job. The
daily grind ultimately doesn't
subtract from the joy and satis-
faction you get for a job well
done, regardless of what it pays.
