I have 2 part time University level jobs on an hourly wage contract. Together these work out to about 70 % of my yearly income. Most of the rest of my income is also institutional work done on contract. I am fortunate enough at this point to be able to pick and choose any other outside work. I suppose I average around a 50 hour work week. University money is probably about on average with the states... the rest is fairly lucrative. In answer to your other question. I started at the UiB after about 25 years of experience. They had been using a blind fellow for 16 hours a week 36 weeks of the year to take care of 54 instruments. I have them up to 21 hours a week for 44 weeks of the year and we are doing all repair work in house now. My goal is to get them to see the advantage of a fully equipped rebuild shop. At present I'm operating out of about a 5 by 4 meter room. Grin... amazing what you can get done in such a little space if you have too. Cheers RicB Another question, how many CAUT's work outside of the university in addition to their positions? David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044
