Help wanted: Butler, excellent pay
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- There is a growing demand for butlers in Southern California, and properly trained domestics are earning as much as $80,000 a year.
As the number of millionaires grows, the demand for domestic help is putting such a strain on the service industry that well-trained workers can be particular about whom they work for, the Los Angeles Times said.
With estates becoming more complex and closer attention being paid to hiring of illegal immigrants, staffing agencies can barely meet millionaires' needs.
"I just filled nine positions, and I could have filled another nine immediately," staffing company owner Christopher Baker told the newspaper.
Being a butler may carry some negative connotations, but Baker said the marketplace has made the career a likely career upgrade for the average man.
"He could be making $50,000, $60,000, $70,000 a year at a mansion in Bel-Air with museum-quality furnishings rather than cooped up as a $9-an-hour computer programmer in a cubicle in mid-Wilshire," he told the Times.

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and A ttitud e will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top .
