"Teachers earn more per hour than architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, statisticians, biological and life scientists, registered nurses, university-level foreign-language teachers, and editors and reporters."


Can you post these hourly rates or provide a link to them?
Thanks.

They make up to $90,000 a year in my town, and in towns that pay less, the test scores are better.

Probably a teacher with 30 years experience makes more than the professions stated at entry level. However, a 30 year carreer in the mentioned professions will far outpay the teacher who spent the same amount of time at the job.

According to Labor Department's most recent study (5 years old), the average editor makes 39K, a HS teachers makes 40K

Here is the link to the survey. It lists averages for hundreds of occupations. http://stats.bls.gov/oes/1998/oesnat98.htm#n20000

I can't provide a link, but I have a buddy that's been a teacher in Kentucky for about five years now. He told me that when he calculated how much he made per hour, it was over $40. That's twice what new attorneys can expect to make in this state, per hour.
