I think you're getting the better deal. In America we offloaded a lot of lesson planning, worksheets, and more to independent companies. The problem arises with this because many teachers now just rely on answer keys, and can't an

The money isn't reasonable for appraising. You are paid per appraisal, and the AMC will take 30-50% of that fee as a middleman. To even get to the point where you can make money as an Appraiser you need to be certified based on state l
