Another person working in this field and I were discussing salaries
for working in the virtual worlds field.  He thinks that designers in
VR should net much more than the $40K plus stock and benefits I
suggested is more-than-median compensation.  My grapevine suggests
that designers are lucky to make the monthly rent, at least until the
industry grows.

Without naming names, and acknowledging that there is a world of
difference between sitting in a research laboratory occasionally
plunking at a terminal and actually working in the field, what do you
think about salaries, now and in the future?  What's a realistic
range, and who gets what for what?
