People Are Sharing Their Jobs And Exact Salaries, And It's Super Eye-Opening


Wed, December 22, 2021

Last week, I wrote a post about people sharing their job titles and exact salaries. I love the transparency of it all, and so did our BuzzFeed Community. Commenters came through and shared their own jobs and salaries.

11.Volleyball Coach:

"I’ve been coaching for about 5 years and coach multiple high-level teams and make the cost for one player's season, per team (about $2,000) from December to May. This includes two practices a week, per team, and tournaments at least every other weekend. I also do private lessons and make from $30-75/hour, depending on the amount of people I’m training. The pay isn’t great, but it’s something I’m extremely passionate about."
