Rural SC, USA. And that depends on both the area(I’ve lived in an affluent part of SC and not), as well as the individual school districts. But “resource” level facilities employees are usually paid just above minimum wage. And part time and full time facilities workers I’ve seen have $20/hr+.
Average teaching salary(not hourly, salary) is $50,178/yr. Which comes out to a bit over $24/hr. Now as I said that’s salary. So unlike the facilities workers who are hourly, teachers don’t get over time, often have to use their home time to supplement school time, regularly have to buy their own supplies, and the other items listed in the meme not the least of which is that student debt still equates to the trades and the like being a better option.
But I’m sure having that degree and “shaping the future” makes up for it.
