“For [$30 million], you could hire 60 people to work for $50,000/yr for one year.”

$30 million / $50,000 = 600

You wouldn’t be able to hire 600 people, but you’d definitely get more than 60 English majors. Even after taxes, insurance, benefits, HR, management, accounting, rent, equipment, travel expenses, etc, you could probably afford at least 200 English majors at $50,000 a year.




Yea, I was off by a pesky decimal place.
