How many stories does the average reporter write per week, and how has the output volume changed over the years?
I was a full-time reporter for many years; first for a small-town newspaper and then for a major national/international financial newswire, the name of which you’d know. At the small paper, I’d write 5–7 stories a week, including one big Sunday feature. At the newswire, I’d sometimes write four or five stories in a single day if it got very busy, for instance, during earnings season.
Which is better, a salary or a wage?
Neither is intrinsically better than the other. A wage is paid on an hourly basis. If you work more than a certain number of hours, you get overtime pay. Some hourly workers like police, nurses or construction workers make out very well, especially including overtime.A salary is set, usually on a monthly or annual basis, irrespective of the hours you work. Workers that earn a salary often put in more than 40 hours per week, but get paid no overtime pay. However, salaries can be higher than what hourly workers earn including overtime. Professionals, tech workers and teachers often earn salaries as do most managers.A fairly common wage might be $25 per hour. Overtime pay might be $50 per hour. If you worked 40 hours a week at $25 per hour and another 10 hours per week at $50 per hour, that works out to $1,500 per week or $78,000 per year. This is pretty good. However, many salaried workers make over $100,000 per year. Some hourly workers make more than some salaried workers and some salaried workers make more than some hourly workers.Whether you earn a wage or a salary will depend mostly on what is the norm for the job you are doing. Do the job you are good at and enjoy and don't worry about whether you earn a salary or an hourly wage.
How much strippers make per night & other than house fee what they pay?
How much does a stripper make on average per night? & If you know, how many shifts do they get a week? Also I know they have to pay a house fee which can range between $20 to $100 or so, but other than the house fee.. I once heard they also have to pay they pay the DJ, the Doorman, the security guys, as well as the bartender... Is this true to most clubs? Or does the house fee they pay cover that?
How much money do Google employees make per hour?
Google engineers are salaried, not hourly, so there's really no clear cut answer since two engineers could work very different hours. However, with the very rough assumption that the typical Google engineer makes 130k and works 50 hours per week, simple math gives us ~$50/hour.Remember that this doesn't count any of the other benefits you might get - free meals, bonuses, company outings, etc.
Why do so many Singaporeans who go to Australia for a degree eventually come back when they have so much space, subsidies and less stressful lifestyle than Singapore?
If you’re young and have marketable skills that are in demand, the world is your oyster, so long you’re adventurous.However, if you are the owner of an average degree from an average school, and seduced by ideas such as a “slower pace of life”, “less pressure”, “non-kiasu” or want to experience “true democracy”, “liberal freedom” and a “free press”, you may be sorely disappointed when you try to make a living in Australia as an Asian.It boils down to jobs. Yes. Jobs, jobs, jobs.First, you downgrade to become a minority. Your much vaunted English skills? Everyone speaks English, and many speak (and write) better than you. On the low end, there are plenty of young graduates who are hungrier. They don’t know a “slower pace of life” when they have the same pressures of meeting rent, heating and food obligations in expensive Aussie cities. Sure, that pizza-delivery or pet-groomer job pays more than in Singapore but it’s no long-term career—your standard of living takes a huge hit and you often end up in a seedy part of town surviving on savings.I have friends who studied there and stayed on. I also have friends who emigrated in the late 20s or early 30s. Some are still there, probably for good. But there is a sizable number who chose to do an u-turn, especially the girls who don’t have to give up their Singapore citizenship when they get Aussie PR (apparently it is not strictly enforced here). I know several guys who went on to Hong Kong.I am in no condition to elaborate on this topic tonight, so I may revisit it again. But my anecdotal experience is Australia is no paradise. The Aussie dream works if you have a cushy job or marketable skill that puts you higher up the food chain. You will find life much harder as an average Asian than an average White otherwise.There are no fairy tales, especially if you don’t have youth on your side.P.S.: One more route to the Aussie dream: if you’re the owner of capital.
