Yep, my best/longest worked job (5 years) only paid $12.70 an hour. BUT it worked in perfectly with uni (I was studying part time) and because it was at a school they gave me 25% off my DD's school fees PLUS provided me some top quality professional development (no cost to me) and free vaccinations if I wanted them. I'd work there tomorrow if we lived nearby. Best of all they inspired/encouraged me to pursue full teaching qualifications and one of the teachers remains my friend and mentor... can't put a price on that
Just over $25/hr plus super, sick leave, holiday etc I am worth more, but being in a rural area it is hard to get what the actual role is "worth", but saying that, I am able to work school hours, there is never an issue taking leave for the kids, I can bring the kids to the office if need be and the boss makes me a latte a day
