[CAUT] Louisiana State SOM Position

[Willem Blees]

The reason Chris makes half a million is because highly paid businessmen are willing to pay him handsomely to save them money. The more they save, the more money he makes. Unfortunately, no matter how well, or how poorly,?we prep a piano, as an employee of a university, we get paid the same. If, by chance, the university can make more money with a better piano, they will in turn pay us more. Just ask the head football or basket ball coach how that works.

Our profession is quite unique in this way.?We are so?isolated and job openings occur relatively infrequently compared to other professions and so we must band together in some way to benefit the whole.? We are as strong as our weakest link, and as long as we have qualified technicians who accept lower salaries because they don't share the same perspective on economic issues, then we are a weak chain.

? I am not sure, but what you seem to be advocating is either price fixing, or restraint of trade.? That would be suicide for the Guild to try to support that.? 


The reason Wim's son, the CPA makes half a million is because other CPAs have worked to increase the market value of their profession.?

???? I disagree.? I know several CPA's that make far less than that.? I would suggest that he is making that much money because he has proven his own worth to those that can pay him that rate.
