While I know that anything related to HR is a sensitive subject, I'm
attempting to justify an increase in the starting salary I offer to students in
my Technology Department. The common answer I usually receive from upper
management is "what are other MSU departments paying?" whenever I try to make
any increase. So, my question is for anyone using student employees in technical
positions, be it on your own help desk, or configuring and troubleshooting PCs,
or in any job where a minimum level of technical knowledge and skill are
required to be hired.
My question to NAG is what are you offering as a starting hourly wage
to student "techies"? I know we all compete with each other for good
student help, so I understand if you are unwilling to reply. Also, if you
prefer not to share this information publicly, please email me directly at

information confidential if you wish. My thanks for any feedback you are
willing to provide.
