Mike is a college student, nice guy; always smiling, never afraid of new projects. He's also a car guy! He owns a newish Jetta, very clean under the hood with a turbo and a chip. He does track days with his Dad who has a 930.
Yesterday he steps up to my desk with a Cheshire Cat grin on his face and whips out a one page with three short paragraphs on it and a "Sign Here" on the bottom.
"Whadda ya got?"
They want him to come back. Don't tell the other summer hires because not all of them are getting invited. He explained that if he signed this, any time spent working here for the summer would apply toward service time. If he signed this, Benet would pick up the cost of his college tuition and books with the proviso that he stay employed here for the same length of time that they pay off.
Hmmmmm...... R.I.T. tuition is $38,000/year X 3 years (he doubled up on classes) + books? That was easy math even for me. He would start at about $40k/year.
No wonder he's smiling....
