If you're looking for a job, think about the salary of that job first, then start your search. You'll really benefit from doing it this way.
Thank you for posting the link to that salary finder website. What a quick tool for learning about specific jobs and what they pay. Of course, the salary does not always give the whole picture, because it does not include benefits, that is, insurance, retirement, and so forth.
