Pay varies by county

Posted By: Unhappy Camper on 2007-08-08
In Reply to: Can you afford at least a 50% paycut? Here in the SE, our teacher's aides don't sm - MQer

In my (rural) county, aide pay starts at, I believe, $11.50/hr. (I live in the southeast, too.) In neighboring county, big city, horrible kids, it is about $8.50/hour, and the aides are required to have at least 2 years of college. Go figure. The teacher pay is higher here, too.

it varies
for years i had a bowl of oatmeal and a Coke for breakfast - sometimes I still have a bowl of oatmeal but now I always have a cup of coffee, sometimes an egg, sometimes yogurt and a cheese stick. . a couple of times a month on the weekend, we have biscuits and gravy. .
Really? I wonder if it varies by state
Not that I'd want one.
It varies alot. sm
Where I live a school has to  have open enrollment, and then there are certain conditions.  They may limit the number of additional students to accept.
It varies. Got called ONCE in my 20's, then nothing -
'til my mid-40's. Then it was pretty much every other year, though one time I got called a year later.

The first time I appeared for selection, my name wasn't even called. Then, two times it was called after waiting all day, but I wasn't needed. After that, I made it to the courtroom and it seems like each time I did, I made the jury.

The last time I was selected was kind of interesting, because each of us had to stand up and tell the judge what we did for a living and answer a few questions. She seemed to brighten up and seem very pleased that I was an MT. After that, I could've been at death's door, and she wasn't going to let me off! I do have to admit, though, I listened well, took reams of notes, and when we were handed a 4-inch-thick pile of the plaintiff's medical records to plow through in order to find a few certain details, that was of course my job. So I guess that's why they wanted me on the jury.

It's actually kind of fun. Met interesting people on the jury, the case was interesting, and it was almost like a small vacation to actually have an hour and a half for lunch each day. The downside was I had to work most of the night in order to still make my line count for work and get paid. I was doing a lot of coffee and No-doze to keep me going through the afternoons in court. Then I'd go home, take about an hour nap, and then start typing. Fortunately the trial was just a week, and not six weeks or more!
the law on this varies by state
Disclosure law varies by state. This is called material disclosure, which basically is anything that may influence a buyer's decision on the home. You would need to check the laws specifically for the state you are in. In California, it is if the death has occurred in the prior 3 years it has to be disclosed.
It varies by state
some require, some don't, goes by whatever department regulates the real estate business. In my state they don't have to and the seller's agent is prohibited from disclosing 'intangible' property stigmatization issues' like murder, sex offenders, suicide, etc. We were referred to an agent when we were looking for a house who grew up here and been in the business for 20 years so knew the area well, so went ahead and signed up with her as 'buyer's' agent, and she said she would let us know anything at all that she knew about an area or a house, told us how to look up sex offenders in the area, etc. Was for 6 month contract but was worth it, she worked like a dog, didn't cost any extra other than what we would have paid to a seller's agent (they split the commission), and didn't feel like pushed to buy any particular place. I would think that it would be hard to not have something like that known to a local buyer anyway, but someone moving in from somewhere probably wouldn't know unless they researched on their own. You can Google the info for your state on disclosure. Sorry for your neighbor's troubles, must really be an awful thing to deal with!!
it varies from mom to mom - mine was 1st 3 months
I always kept Saltine crackers without the salt with me wherever I went and it worked for me.  I was only ill the 1st three months and was running around Europe so I had to have dry crackers with me all the time.  Good luck!  *S* 
No problem. Pay varies. Usually you buy something up front sm
and then you get paid for the shop on top of that. Usually around 20.00 for the entire shop. Takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on where you go. Metro area where? I live in Alabama.

Any Habersham County, Georgia residents out there? sm
if so please e-mail me.  We're considering moving there and I'd love to meet someone in that area.  Thanks!
We have 5 acres in a remote county about 12 miles - sm
away. My DH has been wanting to sell but I want to hold on to it. It has already doubled in value in the 5 years we have had it and as the sprawl comes towards us it will get more and more valuable. Plus it is river view land (5 acres), 4 acres cleared and flat and nicely sloped too. If we don't build in the next 10 years we will probably sell it later, figure maybe college money if we don't have enough set aside (we should) but it is nice to know it is there and we can cash it in if needed.
Yep. Burlington County is a big part of the Pines. nm

I worked at my county clerk's office
You get to sit through trials and stuff like that. You essentially take notes during the trial - court minutes - and keep record of the verdicts. I loved that job, but unfortunately it didn't pay very well.
they are not allowed in miami-dade county

Pit bulls are either not allowed in Miami-Dade County in Florida but I heard something about having $600,000 insurance if you own one.....but that COULD be Broward County where they are allowed.  I'm in Miami. 


 


We have a few school closings now in Sussex County.
I am in Morris, very close to Sussex and in the mountains. We should be getting a few inches for the day is over.
In our county, they summon people directly from
the registered voters pool. I'd always heard that from friends who worked at the county clerk's office, but didn't really give it much thought. I get summoned a couple of times a year & my husband never did, then when I talked him into registering to vote, now he gets summoned all the time too...

Oldham County had the best schools in the area and is just outside of Louisville (sm)
Been a few years since we lived there, they were dry counties, but if you wanted wine or a beer in you frig, pick it up on the way out of Louisville on your way home.

Beautiful countryside, good schools and low crime rate.

Schools have people across the county monitoring weather sm
to assess delays and closings. If there was legitimate fog, the school would be aware of it.

If it wasn't excused, it likely was A) not significant enough to cause any major delay or B) nonexistent.

Think, people.

I was the first girl in the county play Little League - made the All Stars too! Girls rule! Also..

that very same year I won the county spelling bee!  The word I won it on was "ptomaine." 


One other special thing happened to me that year I got my ears pierced and hit a home run on my 10th birthday.  I swear it... I totally remember touching my little gold studs before I got up to bat and then "crack."  Even the people that didn't like me playing because I was a girl had to cheer.  1978 was awesome. 


My grandma also played baseball during WWI.


This thing is not connected to the above, but I am related to Martin Van Buren, 8th President. 


Yeah, I just did jury duty, served on 2 trials in my small county court. There was a girl
did absolutely nothing. Good-looking, well-dressed young lady, may went out a few times (I'm sure to deliver a message or something), but other than that- absolutely nothing. What a job!. Am sure in my county at least, its all in who you know.

Good luck with your jury duty.
It probably varies from person to person (sm)

With me, first child I was out of the bed seriously within 5 minutes of having him.  I didn't tear or have to be cut, he was 7 pounds, 3 ounces.  The doctor did some type of vaginal massage on me though while I was in labor and that was supposed to help loosen the vaginal wall?


Second child, same experience.  She was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and within 5 minutes of having her, while they took her to the nursery to get cleaned up and all, I walked downstairs with my husband to the cafeteria to get a drink and stretch my legs.  I had already put my regular clothes back on as well.  My doctor who delivered her was walking in my room as I was walking in and he was stunned a second and said he thought I was a visitor, LOL, not the patient.


I don't think you have to have bed rest in normal cases.  With my son I went home within 24 hours with him and with my daughter we went home in only 20 hours.
