no-one ever said nor did i ever imply one category is more talented than the other ! !

if u think u are paid absurdly low say "Is there anything in the pipeline money-wise"
or "My wife/ mother asks about pay rates, are there fixed grades, scales of pay for this job that will arrive in the future" ?
