$20,000 a year is $10/hr for 2000 hrs. Not a livable wage in Alaska.

Here is a story. before computers where used in the automated building
control industry (BAS), the systems were pnuematic, compressed air. The
steam & pipefitters union did the work and made $60,000 a year for a
journeymans wage, in the 80's $100,000 dollar years were not uncommon.
The switch to computers and lans for BAS made it possible to dump the
union and hire computer techs. The techs made $35,000 a year and were
happy, all the other trades were making union scale. Go figure, smart
computer techs ??? :-)
