Time is more money 7

(Timp estimat pentru citirea acestui articol: 1 min)

Two days ago, a friend asked me to find two or three students willing to work as freelancers for the online edition of a well-known IT publication in Romania. I identified some students and I was on the verge of forwarding their details when they asked me about the salary. When I told them that it’s 5 million ROL per month netto (4 hours per day work), one of them didn’t want to apply anymore.

I said to myself „“Well, that’s reasonable””, but then I remembered that my salary as a teacher after a 7-year experience, is 7 million ROL. I also remembered my first freelancing job: creating and editing a newsletter of a trade union in Romanea. The boss would give me and my colleague some money from time to time, from his own salary. It was about 300.000 ROL and I was happy to have some money for some books and some hot meals at the campus’s canteena.

Time passes quickly (fortunately?!).
