[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! I’m a single mom of 1 and a public school teacher.  First, do make sure you have the necessary licensures and qualifications for a classroom teacher job.  Next—How many years of experience do you have?  That will make a big difference.  I have 15+ years of experience and more than just a single masters degree, so my salary is actually pretty good.  I also inherited a college fund for my child and a large down payment for a house.  I also have lived here most of my life and have friends who sometimes babysit or help out when I’m in a jam.  Which I say just to point out that you shouldn’t look at other women doing it and assume you can too.  Everyone’s situation is different.   I just think that dose of reality is important. You can go on the websites for the different school Districts and figure out about what your salary would be.  I think living in parts Fairfax, Loudon or PW is manageable on $70k but less than that would be an immense struggle.  There are decent 2 bedroom apartments in very safe communities out in those suburbs.[/quote]

thanks so much. Yes those are all important considerations and you are definitely right, no two situations are alike.
