My last trip for cave training was $125/day for the instructor alone - given 3 people in a course, working full time, that's almost 6 figures. My actual cost was more like $500/day given time off work, airfare, etc. So... paying for good instruction does not bother me. Suggesting instructors can manipulate market prices does. ---------------------------------- Kevin Connell <kevin@nw*.co*> NW Labor Systems, Inc http://www.nwls.com *I* moved your cheese. ---------------------------------- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
