[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with you PP. Most jobs don't give you nearly that much vacation and many teacher tutor or can do other things during that time. I think the 10 months calculation is really fair.[/quote]

No job I've ever had in the summer comes close to my salary during the school year.[/quote]

Doesn't matter. Break down your hourly pay...it's generous. It's more than public interest lawyers, nurses, social workers, etc.

Google starting salaries for legal aid. Heck, my cousin's starting salary as an engineer is the same as mcps starting salaries...and her salary is for 12 months! [/quote]

But I'm sure it goes up and away from there.  I top out at appr. $85K with a Master's and 20 yrs of experience.  Apples to oranges.[/quote]

Ha ha. Not so much. Legal aid funding is constantly being cut. A 3% raise would be huge. And as I said, they work 12 months a year. No winter or spring break. It isn't unusual for legal aid lawyers to moonlight. I know a few who consult on the side, and two who bartend.
