What do you say the word 'super' is - a prefix? Is that why it is hyphenated?-- Yes, it is a prefix, and it is followed by a hyphen in your example (super-job) but needn't be (supervisor).  In your sentence, however, I suspect that what is meant is super job (no hyphen), where super is an independent word, slang meaning 'an article of a superior quality, grade, size, etc.' .   Mister Micawber Joined on Wed, Aug 4 2004 Yokohama Veteran Member 30,825 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
