glider instructors in the US

Hi All, Anyone from the US here ?  I'm just wondering, how glider instructors are payed in the US (and if there are any considerable differences here and there) - I'm a glider instructor with an EASA license, and I'm thinking about making an FAA conversion in the future, and I'm curious to see whether it's worth the effort. Cheers from Europe Zoltan (a.k.a. "Rocker") If you want to earn a living (as opposed to part-time employment) as a flight instructor in the US you will have to do most of your instructing in power planes. You can do that year-around. There a few commercial glider operations that operate nearly year-around like Seminole Lake, but your options would be much better if you did both power and glider. If you are a glider-only instructor (CFIG) I would stay in Europe. Tom
