"One hour of tutoring once a week is $125. “That’s the low end,” she said. “The higher end is 150, 175.” SAT tutors are about $250 an hour."

I need to get to know these families!

Currently I charge $60/hr for 1-on-1, $90/hr for a group of 2, and $120/hr for a group of 3.

$250/hr for SAT tutoring? DAMN!

Let's say on average $150/hr, 4 hrs a day, 5 days a week, 10 months a year.

That's $120,000/yr from private tutoring, working 20 hrs per week... I need to move to the US!

"That said, for companies that are taking bailout money, i have no problem with any limit on their executive pay. The buck stops with the CEO, and they failed to meet the bottom line. I'm paying for their companies (largely against my will), so I don't really care if the CEO takes a big pay cut after screwing up."

I remember when paulson brought in the heads of the ten largest banks in America and told them they were not leaving until they all had taken bailout money. At least one of the bankers said he refused, but was told he could not.
