I learned recently that teachers in my area actually make decent money. Not like.. Tech industry money, but for my area they make $30/h on the low end, $43/h median, and $52.60/h on the high end.
That's a decent living that most people don't experience. I'm sure some places are awful for teachers though.
Future teacher here, my salary starts at 52$ CAD/hour, which is great! But I'm only paid for the time I pass in class, which is roughly 3h45 per day...
This pay doesn't include the time to prepare the class, the time to correct, the time to attend mandatory meetings on the lunch break. Finally, we don't have our vacation payed, so they split our pay to give us a salary during the summer (okay this last point is fair, but it illustrates that hourly salary in education is not representative).
