Whether she accepts Euros or US would determine a 33% raise,
or paycut, however you look at it.

she will be paid the same amount no matter what, but when she gets it weather it dollars or euros it will be worth the same, what she is worried about is the value of the dollar decreasing after she gets her money

I bet the accounts for those companies let her get away with that math Raoul.
If she wants $100 for a job, she'll get 100 American, or 68.97 in euro's, Either way it's the same.

Modeling is a subjective business, like major league baseball.
Who is to say how the contract is written?
Is A-Rod worth $140 Million US or $240 million US?
In her case, this Brazilian woman could ask for $1 million euros or $1 million US currency.
My post merely pointed out that there is a distinct difference.
More than most here probably realized.
Even the Canadian dollar has passed us by.
Do you have any idea what that is going to do to traffic on I95 going to Myrtle Beach?
