A Labor Of Love

October 15, 2008 – We wanted to hire four graduate students for a two-day project. Someone knew a professor at the university, so we asked her to approach students. I imagine this entails sending a couple of emails.

We told the professor we would pay the students RMB 200 (US $30) per day. She found the four students. However, when we met with them today, they told us they were only getting RMB 100 (US $15) per day. The teacher was pocketing the other 50%.
