Venusian salaries

Submitted by carlsson on Fri, 15/02/2008 - 22:08.

7.5 hours of work, 5824.5 hours of free time? Somehow I think you'd forget what you accomplished at work "yesterday" if you follow that schedule. Not to mention how little would get done unless you work shifts and on odd hours.

Besides, you'd have to be extremely well paid in order to survive for 242 Earth days on the salary worth one day of work. At $2250 per hour, you'd be one of those who barely makes ends meet. A medium paid worker on Venus would like at least $3800/h while a really good salary would be around $5600 per hour and upwards. Now before you start drooling, remember that you only get paid for 7.5 hours out of 5832.

Of course you could get extra jobs to fill the rest of the day. I think you could have at least 200-250 different jobs each "day", if the Venusian laws permit. On the other hand, if everyone would circulate between eachother's jobs, they could just as well work a few hundred shifts in the same place, but then again all the spare time would be lost.

By the way, now it is Friday night - jihad for the weekend! Oops, I meant "yee-haw". ;-)
