Right now we're in the slow season... I'll probably fly 40-50 hours this month. Based on other instructors experience at this school, I am hoping to fly 80-100 hours/month come spring and summer.

Pay varies a bit, but seems to range from $8-16/hr. Some schools will pay you for ground instruction, some will not. If you offer your services as a freelance instructor, you might be able to make $30/hr, but the burden of insurance cost, liability, and advertising for your services lies squarely on your shoulders.

The two questions I asked myself at every school I visited were 1) Would I like to train here, and 2) would I like to work here? When you can answer with an enthusiastic yes to both, you've probably found the right place. You might not get hired right away at the school you trained at, but chances are they'll prefer a graduate of their own program when they're ready to hire another instructor.
