50k Monthly Income

[ZOMGILOST]

I am at the cheeseball map. 50k monthly income required to 3 stars, I am already at year 19, 198 students. I have more beds than students, XP bonus varies wildly but seems to have a cap of 40k, and the highest income I had was 45k. The goals keeps on requiring adding new athletic teachers even this late so my salaries are 40k above tuition. How do I reach 50k?

[snuggleform]

A cheesy solution is to fire a bunch of staff right before the end of the month, their salaries weigh down your monthly income a lot.

This one is relatively challenging because the athletics course has low tuition. I did it by increasing tuition. Didn't even notice a downside as I had set everything up nicely.

I have trained them to level 7-9 athletics though :(

I have tried raising tuition as well but it seems to have a negative impact of lowering the xp bonus. not sure why. when I lower tuition, the xp bonus rises again

Theres was an objective to raise scores to 91, so I trained them all to meet that. Guess I have to fire high levels and replace with noob profs then? :D

I was stuck on this one for ages at around 40-42k/mo but I found the way to tick over to 50k was in dorm rent. I built a whole lot of fancy new dorms and made my existing ones as nice as possible- not just beds but absolutely crammed with crap.

Honestly, you can get really good scores just by upgrading courses. While upgrading machines takes some money, it's very little compared to higher salaries.

I was really close so then I just fired a few janitors and assistants to send my profit over the top. Works in corporate America, works in Two Point County.

As others have said, sack the most expensive members of staff and replace them with cheaper persons. Or don't replace them at all if you can get away with it.

If you've got available room you can also open courses in Money Wrangling and General Knowledge to get extra cash and you can open extra dorms to increase the total amount of rent collected.

Your alternative suggestions are completely horrible for what is being sought here. Posho tips don't count for this objective. General Knowledge has a low tuition so its iffy whether its a valuable course to run for a standard economy map. Opening extra dorms won't do ♥♥♥♥♥ if you already have enough dorms. Which if you aren't already doing then you have unhappy students that are telling you they intend to quit.

You should always be doing that anyway. Make a template for prestige 9 or 10 dorm and put it in first thing.

so I have 18 teachers, I sacked 2 level 9s and 1 level 8 and replace them with level 1 and 2s. Now I am being required to hire more academic exercise teachers, and even if I hire 2 more (now 20 teachers), the need did not go away. Once the timer ends I got several classes without teachers evn though I now have more than the original number.

It worked very well for me. I went from 17k profit a month to 50k profit with that method.

Students want to have as much room as possible, they don't like sharing beds with others. So you can increase annual student rent that way. I like my money wrangling students and the others are useful for pulling other stats up since they're only on campus for one year and almost always pass their courses. 3 starring Fluffborough also requires an average of 70% student happiness. Those two groups are easily satisfied.

I've done this easy with ~120 students, teachers level 3 max, with the maximum university fees and i've set all the staff salaries to -25%. If you are at 45k already just decrease your staff salaries to the max

So in Capitalism, if you have a business with no employees, you can't serve your customers and you go broke. So firing everyone ain't the answer. The answer is more customers = more tuition and more rent. Keep upgrading your course to allow more students in and make sure they're all in your dorms. When you feel you're close, then the next year raise the tuition. Should be over the target easily like that. I think I had 4 fields before it was over.
