Entry level is ideal for candidates who top-post and don't trim. Heh heh.

I think someone can get a couple years experience programming in "x 
platform" while in school. Entry level, I've always thought, meant fresh 
out of school, green behind the ears, virginal to the industry, etc.

But I agree, for the most part.

I just don't understand why companies (like this) offer so little 
compensation for jobs which are clearly worth much more pay. It doesn't 
help that the job is in Heber/Park City either. Who wants to spend 1/3 
of their salary on gas?
