Reply To: Salary Expectations in Chinuch

Well thanks for all the input. Let me add a few details:

1. I am a male,

2. The main position I’m considering is out of town,

3. I have both Limudei Kodesh qualifications, and professional qualifications as well – i.e., BA, MED, with lots of experience. This specific position demands both.

4. In no way shape or form will I take any position who pays any more then a week or two late. I’ve been through that before. I’m not working for Chesed. Numerous positions, I ask bluntly, do you pay on time? This one specifically, I’m a little concerned about being so bold. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

5. I have no problem tutoring to supplement my income, but I do need to sleep at nights as well.

6. Gavra, thanks for mentioning Ramaz, I’ve seen some openings with them, but nothing plausible yet.

7. BPTotty – With the cost of living so high in NYC, how do Rabbeim survive, or are they supposed to be shonerers.

I was honestly expecting 60K+, but my brother mentioned to me at the Yeshiva he works in, the secular staff makes less then the limudei kodesh.
