Hmm... so perhaps the poet actually began on the 36 pay scale? Maybe the starting salary for that one was reported incorrectly. Please stick with it and report as many levels as you can.

A few pages back we discussed that some new adoptees and some new spouses actually start at the novice level rather than beginner and that caused some errors in the beginning of our data collection.

That spreadsheet was created by mosaic, so it would be up to him to update it. Credit for collecting all the information on careers goes to Simsane. I used his data in addition to what I had collected to come up with the pay scales. And, of course, data submission was done by the wonderful VF community on these forums.

Thanks for the help!
