Let's see....................in my current job at a uni I earn as much as I did at my public school job, and I work only 9 hours a week. Anything over 9 hours is overtime. School finished on Friday, and once I have my marking completed (marking madness here this weekend), and I will be gone until the new semester starts.

Now compare that to my public school job last year. I was supposed to be in the office from 9-5, had to put up with an anal retentive co-teacher, 50 kids to a class, and 14 days vacation.

Now is there really any choice?

CT

The question remains: "What do you get paid and how much OT do you get?" I could work part-time at McDonalds, too.

Yeah, really. 9 hours/week! What the hell's that? It'd be even better if each class had about a half dozen students. What do they pay you? No quick answer = not much.
