I was wondering about the survey results too in light of this thread.... If the results have been compiled I don't remember seeing them anywhere. Seems like we should get this done before another effort. The survey results would certainly shed some light on the salary averages. I finally got my salary up to a living wage, but I had to take on an extra job here to do it (managing our largest auditorium). This is now more like two full time jobs now, maybe three! It is a nice place to work though, and the benefits are a nice change from self employment, not to mention working on mainly Steinway and M&H grands. It's also nice not to have to come home to a slew of phone calls etc... Another benefit is breaks (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Monday Holidays, Spring Break, and three weeks paid in the summer). I've got a week off starting right now for Spring Break, and the old paycheck -- such as it is -- will still be coming in at full tilt at the end of the month. Breaks are my favorite part of the job :).
