Hiring the Right Instructor

Joseph, I agree that compensation is an important part of any employment relationship. People may stay for a little less money if the organizational culture of the lower paying institution is one that matches what they are looking for. They are less likely to stay for a lot less compensation. Sorry about the typo in my response to your other post. I saw it just as I hit "send." Jeffrey Schillinger
