[CAUT] Louisiana State SOM Position

[Willem Blees]

But Jeff, now you're starting to compare apples and oranges. My son, the CPA, makes $500,000 a year. I would like to make half a million dollars a year, too, but I'll never be able to do that as a piano tuner.

You also have to keep in mind that companies also provide retirement, insurance, vacation time, holiday time and still pay professional level salaries.? I'm not talking about just piano technology here.? But my sister had to have her air conditioning looked at last weekend.? The guy was there an hour and the bill was about $440.? He didn't work for himself. I'm sure he has some sort of retirement, insurance, vacation time, holiday time and probably makes a good living.

One thing we've got to keep in mind while looking at what appear to be low salaries when compared to private sector work is retirement, insurance, vacation time, holiday time etc... It took a while, but I now have 3 1/2 weeks of paid vacation time (and it's about to be 4). One of those weeks is just about to start--hurray!
