It is indeed a very well written job description -- probably for the  
sole purpose of provoking the bean counters into agreeing on a  
reasonable salary.  This should be taken as a model job description  
for every head/only piano tech position.  This is actually what most  
of us do, while our actual job descriptions make it sound like we  
answer to some person like this.  This is definitely the line of  
thinking we should be headed towards.  But I wrote something similar  
a couple years ago, and my dean kind of laughed at it.  Now with  
this, I might approach him again.

I was once told that in the SC system, requiring a college degree  
results in two salary bands higher.

Depends entirely on employer contribution and the products you have  
access to.  Not all plans are equal.  It isn't always a free benefit,  
but when it is, the accompanying salary is usually lower, so you get  
about the same package either way -- you'll likely take home about  
50% of the total salary package.  Also depends on the quality of the  
product.  Our dental plan is so bad they had to add a second "dental  
plus" to supplement it -- with a significant premium attached.
