Respect, I'm afraid, is not high on my list.  It's earned, so if you can do a fabulous job, it comes naturally.  I had a hard time deciding between money and advancement.  I chose advancement, because with that, the money usually (not always) follows.  I'm not a job hopper, but I've done the money-no-respect-no-advancement thing and just money alone, doing the same thing (literally) every day for three years, I was happy to go.  No, I'd like advancement, a change in jobs and a change of pace and the like.  There may be a chance for that here in my current position, and I'm going to try and pursue that.  Wish  me luck.  I don't think I could maintain files (that is my main function) for another 3 years.  I'll end up leaving.  And my boss is the nicest man, so leaving him would be the worst for me.  But, time marches on.
