njbb good point,
However, cluhouse dues are tax deductible. Mine gets two meals a day when at home @ 8 dollars a day and there is no way he could eat for less than that. He now only has to cover one more meal a day, usually breakfast, the cheapest meal of the day.
Wasn't understanding why clubhouse attendants are not paid by the organization as an employee, but doubt they would ever get anyone at the rate they would want to pay. In speaking with a clubhouse attendant down in Palm Beach, he gets nice bucks, especially during spring training. While he puts in a 10+ hour perday when the team is home, he only works 8 months a year. Really interesting discussion.
BTW, a college grad, but not employed for degree earned , he LOVES his job.
