how much do counselors get paid?
i want to do something like that next summer, i'll probably just be a summer camp counselor though. unless space camp pays more..but i doubt that.

Space Camp starts at $7.25/hour with no overtime pay.

...you can clear a reasonable amount, but you can't do it for the money.

At the same time, almost every hour I've been on the clock, I keep thinking to myself, "I can't believe they're paying me anything to do this!

does 'on the clock' include the time you're sitting on the 2nd floor at night talking to everyone?!? :wink:

Heh. I like when Vincent's working. The only difference between that and when he's not working is his attire. :wink:

I'm waiting for Vincent to defend himself, here.
But he might just agree with us.

Perhaps hes busy WORKING and thats why he cannot defend himself....so maybe possibly it is true that he is working at space camp and just doesnt have the time to read every single post and then respond.
