Schooling, first pay and careers

What the records say about the 16 officials with this school.

Years of schooling recorded: 14.0 yearsmean 14.0; 16 officials with years; all schooling up to this school, not the years spent in it

First salary in the personnel record: 275 kuruşmedian of 16 officials, monthly

From the first work in the personnel record to the first year with a salary in the annual lists took a median of 3.5 years (16 officials). The figure is too high for officials who began before about 1868 (AH 1285), when the annual lists are thin: the years before their first listed year count in it. The unpaid years above are the better measure of the wait for a salary.
