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!

WOOOOW! no not bad at all
