As long as we are just sharing random anecdotes, I once had a gig where I was paid in chicken fried rice.
Back when I lived in the sticks, as a kid for a 10 hour day of bailing and stacking hay, we'd get $20, a Ruby Red Squirt, and various gas station snacks.
Similar here, but tobacco, endless supply of Nabs, and a purple gatorade I wonder if I can work "supply of Nabs" into our monthly office expenses....
Back on the topic of original post, FYI in my state you can look up the salaries of any state employee. Doesn't capture additional things like grants or whatever, but interesting. I assume this is the same in other states but - anyone care to confirm?
Inspired by a now deleted comment and mild tangent in the other thread. What was your most ridiculous job, work experience, etc? The most fun was the above working for a friend who owned a few businesses and being paid in chicken fried rice and the odd tobacco product. The worst job I ever had was when a friend convinced me to work for a non-profit going door to door requesting donations ( I only lasted two weeks).
