      Depending on the program you decide to enroll in, anywhere from $18-25/hour. Only for students from K-12 though

        Isn't that a bit cheap?
        I charge 50 euros an hour for the same general group of students.

          It is really cheap but it isn't 1 on 1 tutoring, (it's a franchise learning center deal). Typically I work with 2-3 kids at a time but there are times when it's 1 on 1 so yes, extremely affordable for the amount of attention/guidance the student gets imo. Also I live in a small town (~50k people) so our center charges considerably less compared to others in bigger cities. This also means I make very little money though

              I work in the backroom of Walmart. I unload the damn trucks. I pull stuff to the floor and then I go do other people's jobs because we get done way faster than most of the stores in the northwest.

              That said, I have some damn good perks. I get to listen to music the whole day and I very rarely deal with any human being other than the other idiots who work at the same place. For someone like me it's not the worst gig imaginable.

                I currently work as a Linux Engineer for a major datacenter. Previously I was working as a Network Admin/Sys Admin for multiple health clinics around our valley. I'm pretty stoked to finally have gotten the skill set to enter the Linux world.

                I chose IT because, I dropped out of college and a few years later I wasn't able to go back. My passion to learn steered in the IT realm vs. the classroom and has kept me happy and challenged since then. I simply love technology.

                    Student, hopefully finishing at this school in December. Working part time at Game Stop making next to nothing, but at least I'm treated decently at this job so... you win some you lose some.

                      I went to a trade school called Clearfield Job Corps. They offered a Computer Repair program where I stayed 9 months. In that 9 months, I received my CompTia A+ and my Net+. Job Corp also provided me work base learning for a few different companies. Where I was able to get hands on experience in a real help desk environment.

                      After Job Corps, I landed a very lucky job at Academy Mortgage from which lasted about 3 1/2 years. From there I learned everything. Afterwards, I fell into the consulting side of things. This allowed me to soak up many different scenarios, environments, implementations, etc. with different client needs. It was a lot of fun but, I was tired of driving all over the place.

                      There's the quick and skinny.

                        I get paid handsomely doing absolutely nothing while enduring the terms of my probation while wondering how is it possible that this year is even more successful than last year with my promiscuousity. The answer is online dating and being a Mac. Why? Because my true love turned me down so I'm burying my feelings by burying myself in various women biding my time for the income to grow so I can start up e-cig stores then sell them.

                          I'm a student programmer because I got expelled from high school, then got on another high school, but failed my exams.
                          Was like the last option for me; it isn't bad.

                                Currently conscripted as a specialist in the air force

                                Work's fine but I'm not the kind of person who appreciates a military environment/regimentation, so overall it's a wash. I have another 10 months or so to go before I get released, so until then I'm just counting down the days trying to learn as much as i can while figuring out which uni I head to next year.
