Go for the Colorado opera job, make a good packagematt g wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 7:12 pm Debbie Downer post:
The job is a 20 hour per week job. That’s cool if you can stack those hours up on two ten hour days. Otherwise, commuting costs time and money…
Also, the pay (assuming 15 weeks per semester) works out to be $40 per hour. That’s not terrible and you can have access to healthcare, but you’re gonna need another job of equivalent or better pay. Rent looks to be $1500 a month in that area, or roughly two weeks pay from this job.
whaddya want, egg in your beer?matt g wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 1:16 pm Combining both, it’s $38,000 per year max (max at the uni and assuming the upper bound on the services at the opera).
There are people making more than this with zero education past high school and do so at a single location and probably have better benefits. Plus they are potentially younger. It’s just wild to contemplate.
