I have to agree with so much that has gone before - the money and the lack of respect. From a UK point of view I can claim the following. Thirty years ago 1% of people went on to higher education. Bright, intelligent people (mostly women) were admins because it was a career that was open to them. Now 35% of my generation goes on to Higher Education. Our horizons have broadened and our opportunities multiplied. We are now graduates and have been led to believe that this takes us across the divide from servant to master.

Hand in hand with this problem goes the refusal of many employers to accept that admins are not servants or less intelligent or less capable than executives.

I'm going off on a rant, so I'll stop.
