Answer: A building superintendent is generally required to take care of all the repairs and maintenance in the building. You will be woken at all times of the day and night by people with repair problems or having locked themselves out. You will need to have a cell phone or pager to be able to be reached 24/7.

Question: What's the difference between the duties of a School District Superintendent and the Board of Education? I'm just wondering. I know that the Board gets elected, and the Superintendent gets appointed, but I don't know what either does. Can someone tell me the difference between their jobs? Which is superior?

Question: What is the job market like for someone who want to become a golf course superintendent? I am currently majoring in Turfgrass Science at Penn State University and one option is a specialized major to become a golf course superintendent. What is the job market like for golf course superintendents? What is the starting pay like?

Answer: 25% of the top 100 golf courses in the country have Penn State Grads as superintendants. You are at the premier turfgrass management program on the planet! That being said, you need to talk to your counselor and see if you can get a summer job on a golf course grounds crew to learn the basics. You will have a much easier time getting hired as an Assistant Superintendant if you have worked at least one and preferably two summers on a golf course. The job market is excellent for Penn State Grads in this field, since a PSU Turfgrass Science degree is well respected around the globe. Starting pay for Assistant Superintendants at private clubs in the Northern US should be about $25-35K per year. Superintendants at good private clubs make double that. Of course, you are talking about a job where you can work 50-70 hours per week, easily during the growing season.

Question: what is the best way to go about becoming a golf course superintendent. what degrees or certificates do i need? where can you get the training needed, and what classes do i need to take, to become a superintendent?

Answer: There is a slowdown in golf course construction due to the economy and the field is highly competitive, You should work under a good superintendent and learn what is required to maintain a facility. Start this preparation prior to college where Agronomy is taught and do your summer internship on a course. You may have to start as an assistant and spend many years for the right opening. Four assistants who worked at our course have advanced to the super position, one at our course, another at a private club which was purchased by Mohegan Indians and two who are superintendents at municipal courses.

Question: persuade superintendent why it is importaint to give drug tests? this is not a "real" letter. its just an assignment....this is what it says: "some highschools require a drug test of those who want to play sports or participate in other school activities. before adopting this policy the superintendent has decided to ask students for their opinions. write to the superintendent stating your opinions. persuade him/her to agree with you" i've decided that my opinion is that it is importaint to have this policy, but i cant think of enough reasons to write a 5 paragraph letter.

Answer: You probably can't think of enough reasons because having such a policy is outrageous. What happened to the America where you had a right to privacy and everyone was innocent until proven guilty rather then until they pass a drug test?
