[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been teaching 22 years and have a masters. There have been many salary freezes and I make about 85k. I’m happy with that.  I have friends who make much more and friends who make much less than that, all with the same work experience in different fields. [/quote]

This is my 28th year with a MA. I am also fine with my salary. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that I have another 5-6 years to work and I am at the top of the scale. My DW has 10 more years and has also peaked on the pay scale. [/quote]

I agree, my salary isn’t going to change much anymore. I assume we will have freezes or health insurance increases that will cancel out any raises. My husband is not in education and I see the large increases that are possible if you are not in education. I do not think he works more than me but being at the mercy of clients is different than answering to unreasonable parents or administrators. I have job security. He has a higher salary but does not have job security.  He’s high up in his company now but we are not foolish and know that can change. That’s why I keep my job. [/quote]

Large raises are possible if you're not in government.  I make 6.8% more than I made in 2010, due to lack of locality pay in federal government.[/quote]

Yes. DH is not in government. But he never knows if he will have a job year to year. The lack of job security is scary. It’s a nice balance. He makes a good salary but I have job security with better health insurance benefits. [/quote]
