Wow! I sure wish I could operate like this. Granted the demand for my
services outside of the University exceeds the time I have available to
provide them, I don't think my super would look kindly upon my daily
early departure so I can go make the Big Bucks.

The favor being that they're responsible for getting you all of those
references? What happens when the piano faculty decides they don't like
you or your work? Do they offer severence pay or do they continue to
provide the outside work? Hmm. Quandary.
