Can anyone tell me what a typical CFI gets paid? More specifically,
what a full time CFI in a local flight school can expect to get paid?
Just a WAG would be sufficient.

A full time flight instructor in a local flight school gets between $12 and
$18 per hour of instruction. An independent gets anywhere from $20 to $50,
unless he specializes in some advanced rating such as multi-engine seaplane.
Then he can get well over $100. However, the independent has to pay his own
payroll taxes, so he is not earning that much more than a flight school
employee.
