Call it a failed Socialist experiment

Humans are always competitive and will never be able to live in a world where everyone has the same.    No matter what human always want more than everyone else.

Yes, I could see my senior coworkers being rather chapped if I were to be raised up to what they make.

Assuming that I pass the PLS exam on my first attempt, I would expect to get a nice raise to somewhere between 55-60K.  That is fair wage for a new PLS.  The senior Survey Mgr. in the firm I work for makes about 120K, but he has been a PLS for 31 years, and has 38 total years experience in the field.  He literally lives and breathes his profession.  If I were to be paid the same as he, as an entry level PLS, I'm sure that he would quit.  He may not say up front that the money was the motivating reason, but I know him well enough to know that any "stated" reasons would just be a cover for his true feelings.  And, I wouldn't blame him.
