Also plenty of instructing/extracurricular options that improve quality of life are now available to basically anyone off probation. Those jobs would’ve required way more experience back in the day.
If staffing were up to standard there would be zero overtime except for vacations. So, there still exists a shortage. If staffing were up to normal, your income would be your hourly x1000 at best and hourly x900 minimum guarantee.
They can’t keep the seats filled. That’s why you’re getting bonus checks and higher hourly rates. That my friend is a shortage. If there were no shortage you’d still be getting $26 an hour first year.
