That is similar to our area. My girlfriend taught from 10 am - 2 pm. She started at $75,000 with full benefits for her family.

Many tenured teachers are making $100,000+. And their pensions are out of this world.

PS - I wanted to add the $75,000 starting salary was almost 10 years ago.
Teachers in my local school district (and the surrounding districts too) are making similar salaries. Seasoned teachers are making well over 100k and when they retire their pensions are 2/3 of their last salaries in addition to SS.

@haddon9 and @drizzellla .. About 10 years ago teachers in my town with 25 years experience were getting $125,000.00 a year..

WHERE do you live? Geez. Did I pick the wrong state for my profession.

Are all these high salaries, pensions, great insurance, tenure for college university professors?

That position is going to be a totally different salary than public school (and even many private schools) for K-12th grade.

It does also depend on the state.

If the state does not pay enough for teachers, police, nurses, many move out of that state to find work that will support a family, not to mention a single person paying rent that increases every year.

I think it's a bunch of baloney. I have several teachers in my family and the highest paid makes 82,000 in New Jersey. She's been in the job for 34 years.

The school district in the city I'm in was taken over by the state because it's so abysmal. That has not helped at all. In one school alone they took grant money and hired administrators. One school now has 21 administrators in it. 1 school!!!!!!

Teaching jobs used to be plentiful and now, it's not easy at all to get a teaching job here. They just aren't available.

Our public school system pays well (of course not right off the bat) but parochial schools pay next to nothing. There is no way anyone can live on the salary of a parochial school teacher. And if you stay in the parochial school system more than a year or 2, you will never get hired in the public school system.

@Kachina624- SC is either last or pretty close - we may have made it to 48th this year.

Those higher salaries are also due to Master Degrees.

Obviously lower cost of living areas will have lower salaries.

I don't look at salaries as being a reason that a teacher may be more qualified, either.

Some of the highest paid teachers are teaching a load of baloney lately.

just sayin'.

@drizzellla

I was just wondering - what grade level is that teaching? Or is that college?

She was teaching at our local high school. And it was the freshmen and sophomore classes.

@on the bay . Public school....K-12 The elementary teachers make the same as high school. Of course it depends on their experience.
