[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the pp who had been an attorney and then became an elementary school teacher.  There is no way that I could have made this move had I not saved a lot of money and invested wisely.  I could never have afforded to live in the FCPS area where I do on my teacher's salary of $58,000 a year before deductions.  The only reward from being an attorney was $ but as a teacher I connected with my kids and was so proud to see them grow as people and as learners.  Good teachers should be paid at least double what they currently earn. They are inspiring the next generation.  First year attorneys at major law firms who do nothing to help society earn at least $150k a year. First year teachers who foster a love of learning and create great citizens earn $47k in fcps.  Society has messed up priorities.[/quote]

I know someone (also in Vienna) who did this.  He was a great teacher, and really connected with the Kids.  I admired this.  I would like to do this, but I can not -- I have not saved enough.  I am a scientist, and we are not paid as well as lawyers...[/quote]
