Money question

Two words: Sugar Mama.

Or Sugar Daddy for the females among us.

 

Sling rocks.

 

Amen. I've gone that route twice and have not regretted it. You certainly start the job with a much better attitude.

 

what's with all the 3-4 percent raises? i give raises of roughly 10 percent yearly.

 

Can I work for you then?

 

i didn't say 10 percent of what.

but seriously, i started as a 1-man sports dept. making roughly $23k a year 5 years ago and make $42k a year (better effing be $48k before the summer's over) now as managing editor for the same small community daily east of dallas. may not be rich but i live more than comfortably for the area. incidentally, my sports editor makes right at $26k a year and he's due for a 10 percent raise before the summer is over. that being said, the size paper we are, you do reach a ceiling and need to move on to make better money eventually.
