Guessing about $10-15/hour depending on your area.  I know it was $7-8/hour in a small rural town about 15 years ago because my mom drove bus for a few years.  Keep in mind it's a part-time job, the hours are awkward and it's tough to find a second job to fit in there between the morning and afternoon routes.  There are decent bonuses for field trips if you can get them.

Teachers here are not paid very well. I don't know why. They are paid about 1/3 what a mainland big city teacher would make. I would suggest actually calling some of the schools here and talk to someone in the school. They are all very friendly and probably wouldn't mind talking to you.

A freight agent.   You go to a school which can be expensive and you most likely have to travel to go to it, but well worth it, about $1,000 - $2,000, and it is only for seven days.  Anyway, you get a job with a trucking company and route their trucks all over the place.  You do it from your home phone and computer and get a commission off every truck load you route along with a wage.  Some of these places give benefits.   The trucking company can be located anywhere in the US and you still work from your own home no matter where you are.  The average income for an agent is between $20,000 for part time to $80,000 full time.  Then after a couple years, you can become a broker and work for yourself doing the same thing, but the middleman is cut out.  you have the potential to make over $200,000 then.   \n\nThats what I do and it is a great living.  If I have something to do that day, I don't answer the phone.   The trucker gets routed to another agent somewhere else.   If I need the money, I answer every call I can and tell the company I am available so please load me up.   I highly recommend it to any at home mother or single mother.

I knew a manager that made 25,000 thousand a year but she'd worked at the restaurant from age 16 to age 23 which is when she was promoted to manager. There are teachers, unfortunately, who make that much and less. In todays cost of living scenario 25,000 dollars just isn't that much money unless you have no children and no costly financial demands.

I LOVE my job. It did take a couple of years to get the hang of classroom management. \n\nWhen I first started teacher preschool (12 years ago), I made $7 per hour. A lot of schools pay you depending on your education or how many child development units you have. If you have 6-12 units, $10 is not too bad. \n\nI now have my Masters in Education (60+ units in child development) and make $20 and hour. This is considered good pay in my area (California). Most schools here pay about $12 per hour. The teacher turnover rate is pretty high partially because of this. If you are educated, go for as much as you can get. Enjoy!

I am a teacher - so I would say it isnt just to make money. I love my job! Being with kids is awesome! Some people are with child-like minds all day but there is no excuse for their behavior. My social world for 7 hours out of my day is 9 year olds and they are blessings - each one of them.

For starters teachers only work 9 months out of every year. My base salary is $38,000 which puts me in the bottom 10% of teachers doing the same job at other colleges in my state (high school teachers in the area make about the same). If I work the other 3 months of the year I earn about $58,000. Which, working four days a week, ain't that bad. I can think of many, many more jobs that work much more than me and make a whole lot less. But, you're right, those jobs don't require an MS or Ph.D. degree.\n\nI could take my math degrees and programming experience and work in industry making more than double my salary to start. But, I prefer to keep this job and be there for my son when he needs me. When he gets older, I'll leave education and earn more money. In the mean time I'm not complaining about my salary because I knew what the job paid before I accepted the position.\n\nTeaching is a great job for parents with small children. My job allows me to spend time with my son every single day and, to me, that's priceless.

It all depends on where you live in the country and even what school system you are in.\n\nhttp://www.payscale.com/research/US/All_K-12_Teachers/Salary

It depends on where you want to work.  If you ONLY have a certificate, you'd be lucky to find a minimum wage job.  If you have a university degree (in any field) plus a TESL certificate, you should be able to find work for about $15 (USD) per hour (I made about $18.50 CAD per hour this summer).  The problem is finding FULL-TIME work; few schools pay for prep time so the only way to make a decent living is to teach eight hours a day in the classroom and then do all your prep work outside those hours, without pay (count on about thirty minutes of prep time per hour of class time).  If your certificate didn't include supervised teaching practice, it's not worth the paper it's printed on.  Good luck finding a job with that.

Check with your high school's guidance counselor's office. when I was in school, our school received phone calls from local businesses looking for cashiers, inventory clerks, office people, and other employees. Those employers were sensitive to the available hours that the students could work. The money wasn't great but the experience in business sure was. You have NOTHING to lose by asking about it. If that doesn't work out, look into your own business. Why not make 100% profits after taxes and expenses???

impossible to calculate, but it is not much. if you teach by day and play by night, you can earn a good living.\n\nmusician

This is an easy one!\n\nSpending $1295 a month on transportation is pretty much acceptable, and you really are getting a darned good deal. \n\nHowever, kicking that number up to $1357 puts a whole new spin on things, and the deal is suddenly sour. \n\nSo, yes, I'd expect an increase of $62 in your monthly transportation budget to just plain shut you down. I'd imagine you'll no longer go anywhere, will probably lose your job and all of your friends, and will be reduced to watching reruns of Gilligan's Island and spraying aerosol whipped cream into your mouth until is comes out your nostrils.\n\nI also think you'll be bitter and disappointed. You'll write a novel based on your experiences, it will be deemed worthy of the Pulitzer prize, and you'll suddenly have the expectation of an income in the millions of dollars. That dream, too, will be dashed because the mail truck won't bring your check because it's too expensive to drive. \n\nThose oil mongers! Darn them. Darn them all!

That is a very interesting question. I have just recieved my Apprentice Electrician license. I don't make much more than the average person right now. But the Journymen I work with make a very good living. The amount you can make depends on the area you are in. Here in Orange Texas Journymen make 18 to 22 dollors an hour.

No.  Around here they advertise in the $8-$9 range to start.  Is it any wonder they can't fill those jobs?\n\nWhat about working at a school as a Resource Officer (usually at the high school level) or for a college Public Safety office?  Both of those jobs would pay more and have good bennies.
