Michael Wagner said: I see tons of job postings for anywhere between 30 and 60 thousand dollars per year. Rarely are there any jobs posted on here or on turfnet for more than that so how is it possible that the average for Superintendent base salary is 85 thousand per year. Something just doesn't seem to add up here. Can anyone explain this to me?
Occasionally I will see one posted for higher, but 1. I think those jobs rarely come open only. 2. Most jobs like that if they even are advertised are usually filled using head hunting services, (hence the jungle drum reference?). I know occasionally jobs in our small area don't always get posted.
I think what keeps the salaries up in the survey are those guys that make those kind of numbers are just better at filling out the survey then those that are making at the bottom of the survey.
