Not surprised at all, $100k isn't what it used to be, even in Starkville.Or does that sound about right?
I've got some thoughts, but I'm more curious about what y'all think
I believe that I counted 216 not counting GAs or vacant positionsHow many fulltime employees are there?
MSU 2025 BudgetWhat web site shows this information? I know that this is public information, but the most recent data I have seen shows up to 2023.
But six figures could be 999K. Thats a lot of jack in Mississippi.Not surprised at all, $100k isn't what it used to be, even in Starkville.
Honestly 60/216 doesn't sound that out of whack to me esp if you include coaches.I believe that I counted 216 not counting GAs or vacant positions
Speaking of vacant positions, that's another interesting area in the budget because I guarantee that there are more than a few of those that we have no intention of filling. Just seems like a good way to budget money for one thing and then use it elsewhere
45,000,000 divided by 261 is $174,000 eachBut six figures could be 999K. Thats a lot of jack in Mississippi.
That isnt why students have to go into debt. Staff salary is obviously one cost that tuition covers, but it is not THE reason why students have to go into debt.All big universities are full of bloat and graft. Redundant administration with a gazillion “Vice Presidents”. That’s why all the students have to go in debt. Scam.
Uh oh, @WilCoDawg needs to set you straight on can and cant be considered 'much money'.I grew up thinking that if I ever won a million dollars or somehow saved a million dollars that I’d be set for life. Probably one of the most disappointing days of my life when I realized a million dollars isn’t really that much money anymore.
I can see the perspective that it is jealousy which drives such concern, but I can also see the perspective that it is simply ensuring you are paid your value.Seems like there is just so much jealousy out there because I guess that many of these salaries are somewhat public. I bet if many private company salaries were public, you'd see the same thing. Human nature I suppose.
Tiresome. Take an obvious truth and say well that isnt true in .1% of the cases so we cant accept reality here. BoringThat isnt why students have to go into debt. Staff salary is obviously one cost that tuition covers, but it is not THE reason why students have to go into debt.
“Live off the interest” was a great idea during the Reagan years when a savings account interest rate was 7%-9%, so a million dollars was like $80,000 per year and a decent sized home was less than most new vehicles today.I grew up thinking that if I ever won a million dollars or somehow saved a million dollars that I’d be set for life.

If its 10% of the overall reasons, then its a small part of the reasons for students having to go into debt.Tiresome. Take an obvious truth and say well that isnt true in .1% of the cases so we cant accept reality here. Boring

More straw man nonsense, get a hobbyIf its 10% of the overall reasons, then its a small part of the reasons for students having to go into debt.
Is it 1%? Is it 5%? Is it 15%?
It sure as 17 isnt 100%.
Buddy, have a got a surprise for you when I tell you who our highest paid assistant coach on campus happens to beHow many of them are on the offense vs defense? We’ve got to spend more on the defensive side of the ball.
Coach? You mean we’re not talking about players?Buddy, have a got a surprise for you when I tell you who our highest paid assistant coach on campus happens to be
Unfortunately no, but I do look forward to the day when that info is public too.Coach? You mean we’re not talking about players?
Well, if you assume that every football & men's basketball HC and Asst is on that list, plus all of the head coaches and most of the other Assistants, plus the Top 20 in administration, it doesn't seem that far fetched.Or does that sound about right?

Is six figures "a lot" these days? I would need to know total number employed to have any idea if that seems skewed.Or does that sound about right?

Yeah, but the mortgage rates were over 10% too. We had a 75th anniversary slideshow at a CU where I worked and this was a couple of years removed from the housing collapse so mortgage rates were sub 5 and CD rates were sub 3. A big portion of employees are under 30 so didn’t really have a concept of 80’s rates. They flashed a pic of a CD promo flyer for 13% and the crowd oohed. Then they showed the 21% mortgage flyer and there was an audible gasp.“Live off the interest” was a great idea during the Reagan years when a savings account interest rate was 7%-9%, so a million dollars was like $80,000 per year and a decent sized home was less than most new vehicles today.
Fish got ahold of Horshacks login ya’ll.Is six figures "a lot" these days? I would need to know total number employed to have any idea if that seems skewed.
I'd guess they have so many folks wanting to work there (for a variety of reasons) that they don't have to pay a lot of those jobs what they'd make in private sectorThere were several salaries that were lower than I would have expected.
Lots of them get augmented by the BDC. I believe that's just what the state pays them.There were several salaries that were lower than I would have expected.
I wish I got ahold of Fish's $$$, but know of a number of "kids" in their late 20's that are very close if not just over $100k already. They are all in different job roles and different industries.Fish got ahold of Horshacks login ya’ll.
I would still take a million, just in case you win it and find that it complicates your taxes.I grew up thinking that if I ever won a million dollars or somehow saved a million dollars that I’d be set for life. Probably one of the most disappointing days of my life when I realized a million dollars isn’t really that much money anymore.
BS. Maybe in Amite or Pike County. Starkville real estate pricing is offensive and absurd.But six figures could be 999K. Thats a lot of jack in Mississippi.
