How Much Does A Appraiser Trainee Should Be Getting Paid?

[ShainaChristine]

I got my trainee license about a year ago, and I have been working under a supervisor for around that time too. We have been doing the inspections together, however, I do all the work before and afterwards.

How much should I be getting paid for each assignment I complete?

I work on comp checks, home inspection, data gathering, and type reports.

From each assignment I get paid from $175-$250, depending on fee. I am in SoCal.

Is this fair?

Is this just a percentage or a set amount per assignment? I initially started at 40% and worked up to 50 about a year ago. I've been a trainee for almost 2 years now... Ugh, that new education requirement in 2015! Has felt like such a huge waste of money to have to pay for school totally unrelated to what I'm doing for a career. Only a few credits shy of my degree now though.

I was a tranny for about 6 month back in 02. No one ever paid me for it. Hope this helps

Rather Personal for a Public Forum ya think?
