$34/hour...working a 40 hour week. Without doing the math I believe it works out to about 70K/year.

Smaller part 61 school pay started at $25/hr, after 6 months $30/hr. and charge the same for ground school...

I cant believe that universities and part 141 schools pay only 10-17/hr...why are they the least paid, when it costs the most to attend?!

As a low time CFI at a university, especially in this economy, you can't really go elsewhere to instruct while still taking college classes. So, you take the $10/hour and accept the fact that you are at least building good time.
