<prompt> Human: My American girlfriend has been doing a year of teaching English abroad in Spain. Shes been working at an all-ages school 4 years old to 16, and been working about 25 hours a week Monday to Friday, not counting preparation timemeetings for her lessons which is an extra 5-10 hours. Shes been getting paid about 600 euros 650 American a month. She is in the 8th month of a 9 month contract, I believe.Living costs here are not super expensive, but 600 euros a month is quite on the low end giving rent costs and food.When she first was hired, the argument made by the school is that its not a wealthy area and this is all they can pay her. However, she found out today that the school is partially a private school and is not suffering financially. Supposedly, the students parents pay for some of the classes and there is quite a bit of money being pumped into the school.There are neighbouring schools in the city in which there are other Americans also teaching English. They are working 15-20 hours a week, and working 3-4 days a week. They are paying them 800 euros or more for this!!So it seems my girlfriend has been really duped by this school, and is underpaid and overworked as compared to her counterparts here.Is there anything that can be done? Other than just quitting? She is furious and Im not sure what is the best course of action. Is there no way to ask for more financial compensation? Since she is so close to the end of the contract, I fear there isnt much that could be done.The year of teaching is now almost over and she has been already accepted to a Masters program beginning next year, so she doesnt necessarily need to leave things off on a good foot with this school.Thanks for any advice.  <response>: Finish school year. Find another job. She agreed to the job and wages. This is a life lesson to just not assume employers are telling the truth. It will damage her professionally as a teacher to quit with one month left.
