"I eventually...[was] shocked to discover that I was paid more than [the dinosaurs] were."

Freudian slip? I think you mean the opposite going by the rest of your story. ;)

I don't think so... He was initially shocked that he, as the '19 year old', was paid more than the 'dinosaurs' and later states that the '19 year olds' are still paid more than the 'dinosaurs.'

no, I actually mean I was overpaid (or the dinosaurs were overpaid - I'm not sure) - and so are a lot of 19-year-olds I keep working on from time to time...

* I meant "or the dinosaurs were underpaid. Ouch.

Yeah, I misread that part when I wrote the comment...
