Do you get tuition remission at USC? I don’t know what in-state tuition is there but by the time your kids are ready for college, I’ll bet you could save a bundle.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> My son is 11 and I’ll guess that in-state tuition here at UC will be $15,000 / yr by the time he is ready for college (maybe more!). If he just goes 4 years that’s $60,000. With three kids you could really cash in on a benefit like this. You’ll probably come up with a reason why tuition remission isn’t such a great deal but to me it looks a whole lot better than getting a second (or third) mortgage.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Eric<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Eric Wolfley, RPT<o:p></o:p> Director of Piano Services<o:p></o:p> College-Conservatory of Music<o:p></o:p> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Cincinnati</st1:PlaceName></st1:place><o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-left:.5in;text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Tanner Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 6:58 PM To: ilvey@sbcglobal.net; <st1:PersonName w:st="on">College and University Technicians</st1:PersonName> Subject: Re: [CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div> On Nov 13, 2007, at 11:47 PM, David Ilvedson wrote:<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p></o:p> Another question, how many CAUT's work outside of the university in addition to their positions?   <o:p></o:p> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> 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.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt' type=cite> <div> 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?   <o:p></o:p> </div> </blockquote> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> 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.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <div> Jeff<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div> Jeff Tanner, RPT<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">South Carolina</st1:PlaceName></st1:place><o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
