Well I can't say for sure this is what you are getting at, but the reality of the pay structure situation is that many smaller orchestras are "per service." That means you just get paid an hourly rate for the time you are in rehearsal or performance. These groups DO NOT cover all of one's living expenses and players MUST seek supplemental income to survive. A lot of players in that group teach privately or at a school or even do something else entirely. It is only the top orchestras that have the monies to provide a salary (and certainly one that enables you a decent quality of living).
