StoneSoup Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 First, check out the average graduate salaries at http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/09/18/440973097/obama-wont-rate-colleges-so-we-did?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=planetmoney Then look at what they are paying school janitors in NY City: http://nypost.com/2015/09/20/average-nyc-school-janitor-makes-109k-a-year/ How much longer can a country like that survive?

Mekong Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 SS, Not as screwed up as it first appears. For a start a Buildings Custodian Engineer is way above "Groundskeeper Willie" and the salary is made up of base salary plus overtime. Base hours in the US (to the best of my knowledge) are 38 hrs / week. So working 2 positions at 38 hours per week is 76 hours worked but 95 paid @ 1.5 time for overtime. So the hourly rate breakdown is $22.85 per hour which is only a little over 2.5 times the $8.75 state minimum but less than half the hourly rate of an MIT Graduate which is to be expected Custodian Engineers may not be Harvard or MIT Grads but still have to be degree qualified graduates with a ticket for LP Boiler Operation and another 2 out of many including Air Compressors, Fire Alarms, Sprinkler Systems, Air Pollution Certification etc. Slightly more qualified than just pushing a mop, broom and rake around.

baa99 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 The other thing is you mixed up national averages, with an average in NYC! The cost of living is much higher in NYC than say Huntsville, Alabama! But don't let facts get in the way of your bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Penis is hungry Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hey cunt, I haven't posted in this thread, so why bring me into this? I'll respond (Note to KS, "it" claims to have a cunt so I am addressing "it" by it's body parts) , While you are posting rules, why is you name still in Thai? Rule here is English only, at least that is what K Sanuk has said for many years. So how about changing your name to English, And fucking off to boot. old hand Members 826 posts Posted 30 July 2015 - 19:27 Why isn't the USA Thread rule being inforced? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
