Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of Howard University, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The Engineer said, "Oh I'm thinkin somewhere in the neighborhood of oh say $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2 years -- say, a Bentley?
" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding me?" And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, I damn sure am,but you started it."
