I work on the north end of Vancouver Island in BC and you start out making $50,000 each year with increases every year until 10 years in which you max out at $80,000 or $86,000 if you have your masters. If you sub you get $215/day but if you work more than 4 days in a row, you get more. Our dollar at the moment is just just a bit higher than yours but basically at par. We get 2 months off in the summer, 2 weeks at Christmas and 1 or 2 weeks in March. Not bad at all for doing a job I love! |
Wow, this is insane! I need to move back to B.C. with my husband! The starting pay here for teachers is $30,000. As a sub, you make $115/day in the highest paying district.
I cannot believe how different the pay is...
