This year an MCPS teacher with an MA couldn't make $100K unless they had 17 years under their belt.  This article says the average teacher tenure is 14 years.  A 14th year MCPS teacher year would make $89K.  It also says that 44% of teachers quit within the first five years.  https://www.edweek.org/leadership/5-things-to-know-about-todays-teaching-force/2018/10
