What is Run's House?


Webexplorer is my brother?  How did you know that?  ;)


I lived in CT, RI, and NJ, so I know about the Northeast.



Certified terp for public high school in SC earns $12 - $15 per hour, 40-hour week, 9 months (180 days) of the year.  If the average is $13.50 per hour, that would be less than $20,000 per year.


I'm a community independent contractor terp.  I earn more per hour than a school terp but I work much fewer hours, and I get no benefits (no insurance, no retirement, no sick leave, no paid vacation, etc.) .  Sometimes I have no work for weeks.  Sometimes I work two hours per week.  So, I'm not getting rich.  I spend several hundreds of dollars each year for terp workshops, professional membership fees, training materials, testing, etc.


But I love my work and I enjoy the people I work with.  :)



Life's too short for too much seriousness.  :P
