Let me get this straight -- these vastly more intelligent people live in god-awful weather, with a much higher cost of living and they work for up to $5 less an hour. Seeing as how Hyundai is paying $24 an hr here -- that mean these "superbly intelligent" people are working in high tech jobs for less than $20/hour.

Yep, they sure are smart.

Holding out for higher money and not having a job is smarter?
Sounds like union logic.
$20/hr is a decent wage and I'd bet some positions pay more.
