Kind of sums up how nobody wants to work in housing in ndn communities. My wife works for our community and has brought in over 4 million in housing dollars in the last 3 years. Yet people hate her and they are my own family. ndns are just ruthless. We aren't very appreciative and don't like anybody when we are told something we don't agree with. She makes approximately $20/hr. so the pay isn't really great either. Your top level is approximately $21.00/hr. Its funny we have no problem paying non ndns good money but we don't want to pay our people a good salary. A job like this in non ndn community gets a salary of at least 50% more and usually double. Kind of sad really.

That's too bad about the situation with your family. Yes, it is sad. It's alot of hard work, and there's a lot of people to please (homeowners, tribal government, federal government, etc), so it can be very stressful, but our pay is at the bottom. I only wish it were more, but since we need one so badly maybe it is negotiable. I would say so.

Hope your situation gets better.
