[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you teach in Baltimore City, you are tenured on the first day of your fourth year. You’re vested after ten years in the MD state pension system.

I believe starting teachers make $60k now. I’m in my 13th year and I make $108,000. Good benefits. The main issue is can you survive Baltimore City schools (or any public school these days)? It isn’t a job for the weak. If you’re super stubborn and persistent, it may be a good choice. Most new teachers don’t make it past a year or two. Shadow in the grade level/content you’re interested in before committing . GL![/quote]

This. I taught math for 5 years in the Bronx NYC before quitting to work as an actuary. No regrets. I loved the kids but I hated teaching math. Math teachers unfortunately can be very condescending and get frustrated if others fail to understand what they perceive as being obvious. I was one of of those teachers. And that's not good so I had to quit.

I find it strange that we recommend teaching to every unemployed soul as if teaching is easy. It's f**g hard and most can't do it. People should try to remain in their industry relocate etc before venturing into teaching.[/quote]
