£22 per hour; can't be bad  I teach about 8 or 9 hours a week which isn't quite enough though - yeah the hourly rate is great but my pay gets spread over the whole year so I still get paid during the holidays; means my actual monthly take-home just about keeps a roof over my head and pasta in my cupboard. But there's nothing quite like seeing a group of four 9-year olds bouncing up and down to a 160bpm hardcore track they've just written And they give me TOOOOOOYYYYYYSSSS!
So far:
Core 2 Duo laptop, 2GB RAM (just this September after a couple of years of asking; the 3rd laptop they've given me so far)
RME Multiface
M-Audio Nio
M-Audio Trigger Finger (piece of shit IMO)
Behringer Nano (broken at a gig oops... they offered me another and I turned it down)
Audio Buddy 2-channel preamp
Korg PadKontrol (THIS THING IS THE NUTS)
Evolution MK225C (old faithful, been to every gig with me for the past 6 years, still got the original box too)
Cubase SX2 (but they're too cheap to upgrade me)
Reason 3 (ditto)
Ableton Live 7
Magix Music Maker (great for making basic music videos)
about 17 different versions of eJay (what, you think I teach 9-year olds Cubase?)

Colin,
You are making me feel guilty! I earn quite a bit more but I'm not helping any kids in the process and certainly not making the world a better place. Aille aille aille...

Hey Upavas,
I am doing well but it is all relative. I work hard and I am good at what I do.
(Tried sending you a private message but the system complained it was too long...)
