Average entry-level pay in DC with a BA (everyone):  $53,175  (https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Entry-Level-Bachelors-Degree-Salary-in-Washington,DC)

Average entry-level pay in DC with a BA (teacher):  $56,313  (https://dcps.dc.gov/node/1057802)

The entry level pay isn’t the problem, it’s the pay in the middle of the scale. How much is that teacher making after 5 or 10 years? Because a fed will get grade increases every year until they Max out their job series grade, then they can either go supervisor or try to move into another position with a higher ceiling. The job series for my husband’s former position tops out at a 13 but most go into supervisor 14/15 jobs after that. The usual job series is 7-9-11-12 and a good employee will hit 9 and 11 after 1 year each. So at the beginning of their 3rd year as a fed they’d be making 72k. [/quote]

I've actually never seen that to be true in the agencies in which I've worked.  Those all have limits on the GS rank you can rise to given your job, so you can't jump from 7 to 9 to 11, for example.

If we look at a GS 7 (those with BAs), they start at about $50k in DC (step 1), and can get up to $60-$64K in about 10 years.  That's still within grade, which is more in line with what I've seen.

The DC teachers' 10-month salary scale has them start at $56 and gets to $75K in 10 years (assuming a "step" is equivalent to a "year").

You seem to be describing a scenario of a really stellar person, which I would imagine in teacher world would be someone that gets additional education, like a MA or credits, and then becomes an administrator.

You seem to be describing more a scenario in which a teacher becomes an administrator, which would indeed bring a pay raise.[/quote]
