Got it

Here's the breakdown:

Start Nov. 29th
Pay $27K from day one ($13/hr)
$0.25/HR raise per completed project
expected rate after 6 mo $38K/year ($19/hr)
after 3 mo $200 direct pay for insurance of my choice - which through Blue Cross/Blue Shield is pretty good coverage for me
I can have my own office too, until another therapist rents it out, which he isn't looking for a renter right now.

One of my first projects is to show compatibility between OneNote 2003 and OneNote 2007, another is to create a power point and conduct training on more features of OneNote.

So, those two $0.25/HR boosts are quite simple to get accomplished which is the first extra K/year right there.

Now, is it really worth the drive everyday.. I don't think so, thus, a place in KC is next on the agenda.
