Assuming 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and 9 weeks into 2 months, that's $3.08 an hour, disgustingly low. The pay is $2k for a weekend of casting. Not $2k for a month of casting 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Assuming 12 hours a day for 4 days a week (assuming weekend that is actually over half a week long, and half a day of work per day), it's over $40 an hour. That's $24k a year for, say, 12 weeks of work. If you only get to cast one weekend a month. | ||

He said he would take that kind of pay "for working as a caster 9 to 9, 6 days a week, for two monts worth of work" and TotalBiscuit responded to that, not to IdrA. On topic: Good luck, IdrA, hopefully you'll find better opportunities elsewhere. Your accomplishments, whether in BW or SC2, will be remembered. | ||

Good luck IdrA. | ||

Anyways, you are prolly used to such big things you dont see the whole picture, but gl in school, its always a good thing going back to school at any point in your life. Hope you get into game desing, woudlnt that be awesome ? xD. I guess someone could say you're probably used to such small things, that a couple thousand for working 9 to 9, 6 days a week seems incredible when in reality it is not something to strive for. 9-9 6 days a week can be done for a time, but that's not a career I would want to be leading either.. Also a couple thousand a month could be $2,000, I make a lot more than $500 a week working 9-4.. with minimal post secondary education. So if ones willing to sacrifice long term gains for fun and games, or if your circumstances are so that you can make more than you do now doing what Greg was, then it works for you and grats. Considering the amount of talent required for this 9-9 6 day a week job for a couple thousand, I don't know man, you would do this, but could you? Have a good one. | ||
