The pay depends on where you live and the cost of living in the area. It could be $7 per hour or it could be $25 per hour.
Training also depends on the agency you get hired at. The agency I work for has a minimum of 14 weeks of intense training. Some agecnies offer more, others less.
Go do a sit a long at the agency you plan on applying at so you can get a sense of what goes on in that work environment so you know if it is something you CAN and WANT to do.
It is a very stressful job where you will work weekends and holidays and get little in recognition for the hard work you do. But it can also be very rewarding.
