US $72,000/yr isn't what it used to be given the value of the dollar, but I'll agree it is better than nothing :o) I've received some offers a lot higher than that in the past year, but they all required relocation and I'm not in a position where I have to do that (knock on wood)... But for these types of positions (and they're often contract positions, 3 months, 3-6, etc.), it might not equate to 72K a year.
