[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in graduate school, I worked at a tutoring center. We saw a fraction of a fraction of what the parents paid hourly; my students thought it was such a cushy job because they assumed we got most of the pay.

I was promoted to an administrative position, and was told to sell hours at the highest rate, no matter what the student's test scores looked like. The student could be flunking out, or getting the highest SAT score, and I had to try to get the same money, as well as assuring every parent that the use of our center could absolutely get their child into HYP.

I felt so gross, I quit after just a couple of weeks in the office. I would have loved to have been a tutor again, but they wouldn't let me demote myself. [/quote]

I just took a corporate course for my job and I wonder if its the same. If my company is paying $3,000 for a 4-night course, how much is the instructor standing in front of the room making???[/quote]

I work for a company that runs courses like that - don't think it's the exact one because we don't have any specific courses that hit that profile, but same industry and type of courses.

Our instructors/consultants that teach make between $1,000 - $2,000 per day they are teaching depending on the course. Their travel expenses are also covered separate from their pay. Ours are all employees (not 1099) and are eligible for benefits. [/quote]
