We lost our students over a year ago due to budget cuts. At that time we were paying $8.50/hr. Margaret -- Margaret Wilson, MCSE Manager Colleg of Human Medicine Information Systems Michigan State University ----- Original Message ----- From: John Resotko To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 10:59 AM Subject: Student employment question 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 [log in to unmask] and I will keep that information confidential if you wish. My thanks for any feedback you are willing to provide. John A.
