Thanks for this information! Several corporations have interviewed me 
for Drupal developer jobs. I've found that experience with Drupal is 
something corporations are looking for and those skills are in short 
supply. But if Drupal developments are getting this kind of money, then 
perhaps I should stay indpendent and figure out a way to get in on some 
of this crazy money.

BTW, does anybody have suggestions for sites with good tutorials on 
Drupal develpment?

Chuck
