Pessimistic review of my pay

10:26 AM / 0 comments

I just did a pessimistic review of the money i earn out of being a teacher.

The result is a miserable one. @.@"

Look here.

Assuming i earn a gross salary of $1400/month and that in school, i take a total of 26 classes which will amount to approximately 900 students.

Using the simple calculation of gross salary over number of students taken:

$1400 / 900 = $1.56

Meaning every student pay me $1.56 every month for my attention given to them. I see them 4 times a month, that means:

$1.56 / 4 = $0.39

I am given $0.39 by every student in every lesson i teach them, which lasts an hour!

That is so pathetic! I think i would have been better off teaching group tuition which would have easily got me paid for at least $10/student/session. That is approximate 25x the amount i am getting now! =.=
