One of the enigmas of this business is that CAUT technicians work in the most demanding arena, yet for the worst pay. This is one reason I have not pushed to be an employee. I'm still a contractor. I doubt that I could accept what they would offer here as a salary. I might be surprised but I doubt it. Music schools are so used to being able to hire highly qualified people with PhDs and DMAs for quite low salaries, that I'm sure that the pay I would want would look high. Some time ago there was a proposal to take a survey of CAUT pay. Did that ever happen? dave Avery Todd wrote: > Fred & list, > > This also brings up something I *might* have a chance of getting done. > There has been occasional mention of maybe hiring someone part time to help > me here.
