Nope, I not confused. Im CLT employed and you're right about FGTS.. But I don't have any benefits where I work, and the local employers don't get much better than this. A 'nice' salary in my town would get me somewhere around 21k dollars yearly.

If you consider taxes, less than 1k reais/month. I live south, Londrina - Paraná.

Here in Brazil, I get paid approximately 11k brazillian reais.. Translating to U.S. dollars that would be 7k. These numbers are really impressive to me.

Another brazilian CS undergrad here. Sadly, I can vouch for what olh said.. In some worst cases, teachers at public universities decide not to show up at classes.
If you ignore the references to Sebastian in JM's post and pay attention only to the subject, it is clear that they're talking about different things.
