I'm currently in a DM program in the Tampa Florida area and know when I complete it, the odds of earning any $ besides tips as a DM are slim. I also know instructors aren't paid tons of money, but if anyone is comfortable giving me an idea how much instructors are paid, I'd really appreciate it. That's not exactly a question I'm comfortable asking my instructor or other instructors at the same shop. I'm not expecting exact figures, I just want some sort of a general idea. Are we talking $20K a year? $30K?
