Ed,

Sorry to say, I could be classed as an even more cold-hearted, tight-fisted
hand at the grindstone than yourself.  Our lab has a very, very limited
student budget and I hire only work study.  (We pay only 25% of their
salaries.)  The students start at minimum wage (egad!) and after they
finish the training program they get a 50 cent raise.  I have one student
who functions as a trainer and she gets $6.50 an hour. Last year I had
thirteen workers.

Do I feel guilty?  Quack!  I mean, no, this is the easiest job on campus
and I get droves of kids looking for my meager paying jobs in the fall.  I
figure if they wanted more $, they could work in our receiving dept making
deliveries or in Networking pulling line.
