“I know a junior high school teacher with a Masters degree that is in her 38th year of teaching at the same school.
She teaches science at a Catholic school.
This year, she will make $49,000.”
which means she would be making $65k for 12 months of work. that is a good salary
i have a friend who teaches high school and he looks at 12 months of 40 hr weeks and works those hours in his 9 month school year and takes the summer off. i’m sure he is not the norm.
Agreed. If she worked in a public school (which she would never be hired for because of her creds), she'd be making $70K+/year.
She is happy where she is and is thinking about retirement in a few years.
