Shalom Michael!

I have mentored for 3 years as a volunteer, and now, this coming year i found a full time mentor job for which i'm being paid.
First of all, it is amazing. Getting paid for something you would have done for free is awesome.

With that though, while getting paid you get a feeling of higher responsibility.

I think my salary is coming from a local foundation that deals with educating youngsters towards science and engineering.
The job is part time during the off season. I'm getting paid by the hour, and the amount of hours depends on the projects or seminars we have during that time.
During the build season i will be paid globally (per day).

Also, as of now, meetings that include kids working is double the money compared to my preparation time, or time i spend buying stuff for the team.

For now, I haven't experienced any drawbacks, but that depends on your employer.

I'm also a university students, so this kind of 'part time' job is suited for me. While not on team meetings, i'm making plans on teaching LabView and CAD to the team, and planning the off season project. Also, organizing some activity in the local community.

Competition - getting paid globally.

We are waiting you back in Tel Aviv this spring! Will you make it?

Fell free to ask anything else you have questions about....
