Post subject:  murph's salary
this might have been brought up before, does anyone know what this pos makes? my guess is 100k. he probably thinks he should make more than B & B do since he was a score original gangsta and of course he started the bleacher bums. anyway, any info on his salary ?

Could be way off dude, but I thinkn well over a year ago in one of the forms someone posted everyone's salary........I really didn't know the validity of it, but some of these guys were making way more than they ever should for the shit they spew....

Pappy-been discussed
Annie-Use to be 100,000 a year (not sure what it is now with the new contract)
Fred-70-75k
Murph: 85-90k
George: 80k
Jesse: 50-55k
Terry: 500k
Lil Daniel: 350k

I questioned the numbers at the time, but knowing SCORE management, all of these figures are probably accurate....Oh, and Dan and Terry deserve more. :)

There is no way in the world there would be that big of a spread between Dan and Terry at this point in their show career.

I would bet Murph is making closer much higher than that. 150K certainly would not be suprising.

Jesse might make that amount from the Hawks. I think he is paid per shift by the SCORE.

The depressing number is Offman. He has been in the business forever, and is arguably the SCORE's top man in his area and he only make 80K. I've said this before but why in the hell would anyone get into that business.

I'll bet you if you told George 15 years ago that he could make 80k for reading scores every 30 minutes for a 6 hour shift he would have jumped at it. So he shouldn't be pissed now and think he deserves more. That is a very replaceable position. I've never listened to a show for the update guy. I'm sure he gets his annual 2-3% raise. It adds up if you've been there for 15 years like George has. That's how it got to 80k.

The moment he bitches to management about his salary is probrally the moment they get rid of him and bring in somebody else for 40k. There are several people who could do it well and they would do it for that money.

I'm not saying he is comparatively underpaid. I am saying that this is an industry where a top person in a particular area with 25+ years of experience can only max out at 80K. How does anyone with intelligence ever enter the business.

Oh, I forgot, he is reading scores from yesterday evening because it makes a significant impact on humanity.

Jesus Christ Dolphin you act like all of these guys would have gone on to be Doctors, lawyers or FBI agents if they weren't in radio. Believe me, Offman wouldn't have topped out at 80k in anything else he attempted. Alot of these guys wouldn't have graduated college in any other major but Broadcast Journalism.

Those producers who fail or never get the chance will go on to do whatever the hell they were gonna do anyway. So it's a no lose situation to give it a shot.

Beardown, sometimes GD is just bitter and not open to other people's ideas about what they want to do in life.

No I don't think Dolphin is bitter. I just don't think he realizes that it's a no lose situation to give it a shot. Yes there are not enough positions to occupy all the people with journalism degrees but just being a college grad will get you some decent work if the radio thing doesn't work out. That's all I'm saying.

Beardown and Dolphin, and I'll throw in Ryan... all have pretty good points. And I agree with each to a certain point. Having been a former Broadcast major, I feel I should comment.

Pretty much, you have to tell yourself NOT to care that you might be living off of ramon noodle for dinner everynight, and drive a '87 Oldsmobile. I tried talking myself into that. Basically you must tell yourself you really really really wanna work in broadcasting. One semester in radio/TV was enough to realize I don't love the idea of it that much, not worth being poor.

A lot of cool people major in broadcasting, but it is true. Some of them, if not most of them probably may not have graduated in something else. Broadcasting, at least at my school is so fn' easy. The hardest part of my one semester was finding two stories each week and filming them for a TV class. If you didn't find a story, you BS one, film, edit it, turn it in, and still get an A.

I even know a woman and a man with a PHD that aren't making $40k a year.


Nas, you are absolutely correct. Not that it makes the above any less depressing. Consider that it takes anywhere from 4 to 8 years AFTER being granted one's Bachelor's degree to earn a Ph.D. That's 8 to 12 years of study to earn less than $40,000 annually. That is an astonishingly poor ROI. What in the world was their field of study?

Ofcourse people with degrees are struggling. But you defidently have a better chance then somebody without one. More people are graduating from college then 20 or 30 years ago. So having a degree isn't as prestigious as it once was. But it's still an advantage over somebody without one. And it's not like somebody with a journalism degree is going to look back and say I should have went to Med school. Because he had no shot at being a Doctor in the first place. That's all I'm trying to say.

just depends on what the degree is in....

for example:
getting a liberal arts degree in (fill in the blank), and then not a pursuing a career or continuing education as a (fill in the blank).....
well, don't bitch that you manage a Bennigan's then.

vs.

getting a law degree, passing the bar exam, practicing law....

That goes without saying. But odds are those people who got those "easier major" degrees wouldn't have passed law school or med school in the first place.

then they should have worked harder. i don't care how "dumb" or "smart" you are. lawyer or doctor probably isn't the best examples anyway, but you get my point.

it's all there for you in college.....which is why i'll be paying my student loan off until 2018.

like i said, depends on the degree.

professor at a small college in wisconsin. well, if you don't make enough there......then move.
