Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources
Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, "And what starting salary are you
looking for?" The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000
a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer
inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five week
s vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental,
company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary,
and a company car leased every two years, say, a red
Corvette?" The engineer sits up straight and says,
"Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies,
"Yeah, but you started it."
