Sounds like something your grandfather might say when explaining how he use to be able to finance a year's worth of college from his summer job...


not even close. But you do realize almost every plant job pays atleast 20/hour. Add in overtime and most people could easily earn enough to pay for a local college for atleast 1 semester and possibly close to paying for whole year. Get on a TA and work 84 hours a week for the 12 weeks of summer and you easily pay for it.

wasnt really the arguement though. seen plenty of HS coaches do the bare minimum in both coaching and fundraising. Many others do much better in the coaching department but still suck at fund raising.

Mainly, community support. I can guarantee you ASH and Barbe would raise a million dollars light year's faster then a school like Belaire, no matter how hard they tried.



I agree. But take LCCP for example, they are a start up school and have been doing a fine job building athletic facilities and winning teams/culture in a traditionally underprivilaged community. Got a ways to go on the academic side but it can happen.

build a winning program and it makes your fundraising job much easier.

school choice. I am for it.



that we can agree on.

Good luck finding a plant that's hiring a high schooler/college kid for 12 weeks a year.

Agreed

Agree to an extent. Any large project fundraising, like a batting cage, weight room, or bigger is going to be a school/community project.

Uniforms, equipment, etc, I'll put on a coach having to hustle. I agree with that.
