“For compensation of the President, including an expense allowance at the rate of $50,000 per annum as authorized by 3 U.S.C. 102, $390,000: Provided, That none of the funds made available for official expenses shall be expended for any other purpose and any unused amount shall revert to the Treasury pursuant to section 1552 of title 31, United States Code: Provided further, That none of the funds made available for official expenses shall be considered as taxable to the President.” – as printed in the Congressional Record, December 15, 2000 (Vol. 146, No. 155).
Shoot, I forgot to put my field and my years of experience.
Environmental project manager 6 years, 8 years environmental technicican. 8 Years physical fitness trainer, including 5 years at a university in my previous location.
Wages from instruction didn’t add much to the annual income ($928 per credit per semester), but was mainly for fun. Instruction outside the university ranged from $0-$60 an hour depending upon the client (charity performances were of course done free :D).
At any rate, what exactly does the SAT points and the salary per point mean? Those with low SAT points and high wages are overpaid? And those with high SAT but low wages are somehow underpaid?
IMHO, SATs don’t have any relation to real life. There’s a lot more to “making it” in the real world than your grades.
I did well on every standardized test I’ve ever taken, the (recentered) SATs included; it’s my great skill in life, and I’m almost sorry that I never have to take one again. I’m in a PhD program in cell bio in New York City, which is about the most well-payed kind of grad student there is, but it’s meant to be a stipend, not a salary. So I can eat, pay rent, buy clothes, etc, but I ain’t getting rich off of it.
$50.84 per point, guesstimated from an ACT to SAT conversion table.
15 years experience in Civil Engineering, specifically hydrology & hydraulics. The last two years I’ve been growing my own company, my “dollar per point” ratio would be higher had I stayed on at the Mega Whopper Engineering Co.
I believe the answer is that a president cannot sign a bill that increases his own salary. Therefore Clinton signed the bill, but Bush was the first to receive the increase.
Back when I planned to go to college, they had something called “College Boards”; SAT was unknown. I believe that the score was also kept a secret from us and only sent to the colleges we listed (that sounds so weird today, I know). So I have no idea what to use for a score. I’ve been retired for 3 years, so the math is $0.00/x where the value of “x” is unknown.
