[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the replies. DD would make more as a teacher any day than what she hopes her first career will be. DH's family is full of teachers in a lower cost area and all seem okay financially and some are even teachers married to each other. I think it's hard in this area with COL.

I plan to share the comments with her.  Interestingly, the thread asking about what job do you have that you love has several teachers who have posted!  She has been inspired by her high school English teachers thus far who have made English engaging and dare I say it, fun - so thanks to you teachers who have that skill - I think it is the MOST important ones a teacher can have (along with some organizational skills, of course)!

DD says her current plan to do a 5 year program with a  BA in English Lit and a 4th/5th year MEd.  She would not just get an education degree.

Her goals include teaching honors/AP and also working in international schools for a while, if possible. She's only 16, so plenty can change the next few years but because of her other career goal (ballerina, next to impossible to achieve, short lived and terribly underpaid) she is already considering college and the rest of her life. Lots to ponder. Ballet dancers are some of the most determined, smartest, organized and hard working kids I know so I have no doubt she will reach whatever goals she sets.[/quote]
