in cog neeto,
i posted here too, but chicken6 posted under my name (!). I think he really likes me, why else would he steal my name. either that or he wants to get me in trouble. wherever you are chicken6, i'm coming after you.......
as for instructor pay....i have just reduced my days for instructing because i can not afford to hang around the club all day getting paid nothing. i finally ran out of money last week and as much as i would like to devote all my time to building up my hours, someone has to pay the bills and if it ain't me then i don't know who.
i think that if clubs are going to charge say $40 per instructor hour the instructor should at least get half as they are actually the ones doing the work.
i could go on forever and ever amen about pay as it really does suck, but i'm just hoping that i look back and think it was worth it in the end. and i hope my experience means that one day i can encourage others to stick at it while going through the same thing.
as for chicken6, don't worry about me 'going to get him' as we know each other and he is bigger than me.....
