summary of responses: pay scales

[Todd Carver]

Here is a summary of responses for the question I asked 2 weeks ago (below). For the privacy of responders, I have eliminated as much personal information as possible, and sometimes, this has prevented me from listing the institution. I apologize for that, but I think that it would be fairly easy to match the person with the job in these cases.

"Hello all, I am interested in the pay scales of masters-level biomechanics technicians across the world. If you meet this description, and don't mind sending me your range, it would really help."
