On the other hand I know that "average" sales people don't last long so
perhaps of those remaining (above average sales dogs) the "average" wage
is 6 figures.  I know when I was at Oldies most of the sales dogs made 6
figures and those that didn't, left.  Of course that was before they
began hiring sales people like crazy, how many ways can you cut the same
pie?    So we have to do the math....what is the typical commission of a
sales dog these days....how many sales dogs does the station have, what
is the station's gross and how much of that are national and house
accounts?
