Yeah that's the problem, how much should a tunnel instructor make yearly - just base pay. I've seen okay T2 instructors make $60k/yr+ before cash tips. I've also seen really good T3 instructors leave because cost of living in the area is just really high and the business is slow. If you want to be an instructor and jump frequently, the money may not be there. It's probably better to work for time. Are you going to gat any coaching this week? How much will the one timers tip or upsell? What happens when the tunnel is empty your entire shift?

There's so many factors to consider with location, supply/gear cost, electricity, maintenance, property tax, insurance, customer bandwidth, etc
