Last night after another couple of hours of our GUE instructor's time (all on the original nickel) he asked me,
"Are we charging enough for Tech ?"
I said,
"No.... not for the amount of your time we are buying."
(His classes run far beyond the syllabus and you have this continuing access to his time.)
He said,
"Well it is nothing to the guy in x making $$$$$ but what about the guy in xxxxx making $."
I understand where he is coming from...
He travels abroad a lot teaching and wants to make these classes accessible... but this adds to the expense and he needs to pay his bills...
So I have several questions for you that are coming from completely different directions so try to use the numbers in answering:
1. Did you pay too little, too much, just enough for your training?
2. What do you think of an instructor/agency that is concerned about people being able to afford the classes (from other than a marketing standpoint)?
3. How would you advise this instructor in balancing the financial realities of staying in business with the desire to make instruction available to those in other countries with meager resources?
BTW I don't live in x and make $$$$$
