Hi David, Thanks for the reply. Please keep in mind, the overwhelming basis for my conclusion has little to do with the qualifications desired by the music faculty and more to do with the Human Resources job classification infrastructure and the current willingness of already overqualified techs to work for a fraction of their market value. If it were only about qualifications, you'd hear only support for the idea from me.

Making techs jump through hoops in the hopes of forcing/inspiring/leveraging higher pay out of limited university budgets is not likely to benefit anyone. The truth is that universities can’t compete with what a full time tech makes on the outside. Their ability to do so will not be driven by a tech with a credential. Most techs are hired into music programs based on referrals and recommendations, interviews, past experience and willingness to work a full time job for generally much less than they can make on the outside. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
