Even if my boss says I lack initiative, A scandal scoop is not the kind of initiative I'd like to take. Professional as well as personal integrity is more important to me than any money in the world, as long as lives are not at stake. (Guess why I work as an underpaid independant stately university scientist instead of earning big money in the drug industry :rolleyes: I've declined numerous offers. )

Thanks for the answer to my question.

The reference to inititive is the person shows they are willing to go out and get the story.

Nice answer though ;) :D </STRONG>

I don't know about that - you can keep your integrity (and artistic pictures) under your real name - and make a name for famours/scandalious(sp?) pictures for you alias. :D

No no no - my alias could/would loose selfrespect, not me :D

But who cares, if I'm rich :D
(Hmm - maybe I should stop taking these "questions" - I seem to fall into the same pattern again and agian - oh well, money money money :D )
