Wait a minute...

I recently saw a salary survey site that lets you enter two job titles to compare the average salaries.

For example, following some odd train of thought, I thought it might be interesting to compare a professional meteorologist to that of an on-air TV reporter:

Interesting. Or so I thought.

But playing with the site made me soon realize that its data is, to but it politely, utter crap

http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=dictator&l1=&q2=monarch&l2=

http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=scum+of+the+earth&l1=&q2=salt+of+the+earth&l2=

http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=good&l1=&q2=evil&l2=

http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=satan&l1=&q2=god&l2=

Hoooookaaaaaay.
