This web page is mostly containing all of the different ways you can get paid. There is base pay, housing allowance, clothing allowance, tax advantages, retirement benefits, and more. This has to do with my research because getting paid is part of living. The information is pretty solid and to the point with little to no bias. This will fit into my paper great for a few sections, explaining how well I get compensated.
