[quote=Anonymous]I’m in my 18th year of teaching. I’ve has my steps frozen 2 years in FCPS and one year in APS. Plus there have been at least 2 years in which the new step kicked in halfway through the school year. We’ve gotten COLAs about 5-6 times. I wouldn’t base the initial choice on future salary projections—she can always switch counties later on (I increased my salary by about 10k when I moved counties). More important is finding a school that is a good fit. Also, as others have said, encourage her to pursue other options after a few years if she doesn’t love the job. For many, it doesn’t get much easier 5, 10, or 20 years in, so she should have a pretty good idea after a few years as to whether she should hang in there for the long haul.[/quote]
