I have three questions:
What's the average pay in the United States?
Are benefits (health, retirement, dental) part of the position?
How many hours a week does a Genius average?

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

1. Don't know the average pay, but when the Oxmoor* (Louisville, KY) store first opened, the average pay at that store was $15.50.
2. Benefits are part of the position as long as it's full time.
3. Hours depend on staffing and how busy the store is, but you can get 40 hours a week no problem. Just don't expect overtime.
*I used to work at the Oxmoor store when it first opened.

Shif is it for you? Do you really think they need an expert on PPC? ; )

On average, about 7x24=168. Just like everybody else.

1. Genius pay has been going down and down. I wouldn't expect more than $30K/yr.
2. Yes.
3. The Genius position is full-time only, so it's 40 hours. Don't expect to go under or over. (Technically, a FT position can go as low as 32 hours, but it's just not done.)

Would Apple really hire a non-believer? What's next? Bob Jones University starts ordaining ministers for the Church of Satan?

Wow, that's low.
I guess it's the good old supply & demand, there are more "geniuses" out there than positions.

IIRC, he wasn't. He liked the sales side better.

Down Under they call the Geniuses 'Smart Asses'.

Mind you, my guesstimate is more a guess, just based on hearsay. Either way, you'll make more money doing Mac tech work elsewhere.

Your guess sounds about right. I was offered a position as a genius and at the time it was $17-18/hour and that was 3 years ago.
