Everybody knows that instructors don’t get paid much.
This topic is constantly coming up in the news as well as politics, so it’s no surprise when you hear a instructor talk about how underfunded the school is as well as her own pockets.
As a instructor myself, I can attest to this as well as I’m guilty of complaining about my pay to almost everyone who will listen. What instructors don’t talk about though, are the discounts as well as benefits they receive for simply choosing a career in teaching. I receive a discount at most stores as well as some benefits from random companies like the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C company in my area. The Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C company I use has a multiple percent discount on all services for instructors, military, as well as first responders. It took myself and others multiple years to realize that there was a discount for me. Once I realized it though, I never forgot! I utilize this discount every time I call the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C company because Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C service can be fancy each year. Without the multiple percent discount, I think I’d neglect my oil furnace as well as a/c because it would be difficult to pay for. Biannual Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C service plus random repairs is pricey. Ten percent isn’t a pressing saving, however it adds up when you have multiple Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C tune ups per year. As a instructor, I’m thankful for companies who honor as well as respect the toil I do by offering a discount. If the government can’t pay myself and others more money for educating the future, at least some companies can chop back their costs where they can.
