[CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?

[Paul T Williams]

I wasn't green at all.  I was 100% self employed for 14 years with a 
couple of "on call" smaller colleges around the Seattle area which "got my 
feet wet" in a CAUT sort of way.  In that frame, I guess I was a bit 
"green".  I sought out a full time CAUT position getting really tired of 
long drives and ferry-boat commuting from the island I lived on. Increase 
car expenses by double for me!  Made for super long days...Now, I'm 4 
miles from UNL and my customers are too, save a church 90 miles away with 
a 9'2" Bluthner brand new.  It's worth the drive and I charge for it :>)

Another question, how many CAUT's work outside of the university in 
addition to their positions?   

As often as the wife can keep me booked.  Ideally, at least one job M-F, 
with out of town jobs or churches with multiple pianos on as many 
Saturdays as we can keep booked.  M-F isn't always easy, with trying to 
make kids ball games, etc.  We grossed about $21K outside last year and 
still struggled to meet basic expenses for a family of 5.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you CAUT's took on a college/university 
position when you were beginning, green, but had some skills?   

I felt green when I started, but within a few weeks felt pretty 
confident.  But most of my training was as a CAUT assistant, so I had some 
good background.
