Stone Mountain area? That used to be a pretty place, but I haven't been there in many years.
GT rented out the Lucky Street YMCA in the heart of downtown as an overflow dorm and that's where I lived for a couple of years. I doubt it's there anymore.
Downtown was pretty bad. My car was...
If that were feasibile (it's not), and if the receptionist would still work for receptionist wages despite those qualifications, I guarantee you that Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, etc., would be doing exactly that (they aren't).

Completely missing the point.
Being over qualified does not justify being overpaid. The job is worth whatever it's worth, regardless of the examiner's qualifications.
Irrelevant.
If a lawyer gets a part-time weekend job at the car wash, should he be paid his hourly attorney fee for washing cars?
A jet pilot might decide his time is too valuable to do DPE work but that doesn't make the DPE job worth more.
