I left a 42K job to come to ERAC for 19K, but within two years I was past 42K and I am still very happily married. If you are seriously considering a career with ERAC just know that you will have to devote a lot of your time and effort to being successful, but if you do make it, it is a very nice living.

This is the kind of stuff that propels newer people to continue to stay at Erac. The key to your post was 8 years. Usually the ones that talk about how much opportunity there still is are the ones that got into Erac when they were experiencing actual growth....the nineties. What many don't seem to realize is it's almost 2006. What was relative to your opportunistic experience nearly a decade ago is NOT even close to the opportunities that exist in present day. It is simply misleading to tell new and fairly recent employees your success story implying that the factors that helped you advance still exist. Sure, your story I'm sure is heard from some present day employees at Erac, but they are definitely in the vast minority. Xmas, 2005 is around the corner, not xmas 1997. Maybe somebody should stuff your stocking with a current calender.
