[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t do it. It is a horrible profession now. And there’s not really a pay bump for having a doctorate. I earned as much with masters plus 60 as DH did with a doctorate so there was no financial incentive to move past ABD.[/quote] In MCPS pay is a function of advanced degrees and time served. They also have a lot of time off and pension which are worth considering when evaluating the overall compensation.[/quote] Same as FCPS. Teachers also have a far better than usual retirement compensation. It's a tough job, but in this area at least, it's a secure reasonable paycheck with very solid benefits and more time off than is typical of many professional jobs.[/quote] Even that won’t keep teachers in the job for long enough to collect on this. That should tell you how bad it is. [/quote]
