[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a HS teacher in MCPS. Going into year 15. This job becomes less and less desirable every year. I can retire before age 60 is the only thing keeping me going. I have a Masters +60 and I make considerably less than just about everyone I know, and many of these people don’t have a college degree at all, and  they work remote or hybrid. 
Before anyone points out that I have summers off, I actually don’t. I work in the summer and the weeks I’m not working, I don’t get paid. It’s like everyone else’s annual leave but other jobs get paid year round. 
 I like my school and our Admin for most part, but lately I’m questioning why I spent so much time and money to become an educator. Yes, I love working with kids, but I’m also tired of struggling financially. I live in Moco and I’m a single parent. [/quote]

Your problem is that you're a single parent living in MoCo. Teaching is not the problem. [/quote]

No..
Teaching is the problem. Many of the mcps educators are miserable and there are terrible morale issues. You are not alone OP I'm just not sure what you can do about it...you may be stuck due to finances
[/quote]

Right, because other jobs are going to pay less. The OP is delusional.[/quote]
