Article says room and board, plus cost of transportation, are covered. So that $13/hr goes quite a bit further than it would if a chunk of it was going towards paying for food and rent. (And if you were paying for the cost of the plane flight, then nobody would take the job). Can't calculate the equivalent compensation without knowing where the author lives normally, but it might (VERY rough guess) be the equivalent of $20 to $25 per hour.
- Brybry 8mo agoCan probably ignore rent savings. In the article the author says she missed her husband, kids, and dog so she still had some of the same costs going on back home. And Wikipedia says she earned a Ph.D. in 2004 and lives in NYC [1] Probably safe to say she didn't go for the money.
