I like that answer, pretty straight forward. All those that want to ask this type of question should open by stating how much they make and then proceed to ask how much the other guys make and stop beating around the bush about it. I admire your answer Agrimensor (Spanish for Surveyor), at least you "manned up". Around here asking this kind of question would be considered extremely rude. If you really want to know the median income for a region, the trade journals publish a yearly survey which tells you the salary by region and position/title.
I have to wonder what the motivation for asking this is. Curiosity?
What I find more entertaining is that it is continually being bought up under the guise of some kind of poll. All I care about is what I make and if you ask me i won't tell you.
I hope I wasn't offensive
