[quote=Anonymous]Most of the paras I work with have a bachelors or masters. (I have a masters.) This is normal for the DC area; it doesn't matter what the "requirements" for the job are. One of my colleagues at a different school has a PhD and teaches at College Park as well. It just so happens you can't beat the benefits at MCPS. It's one of the reasons I am a Para. My DH makes good money but the bennies are crappy. I work 30 hours/week with full benefits. Nearly my entire paycheck goes to our retirement fund. But I have 3 kids and want to be home when they get home. (I work 8-2) It is also easy to take them to their myriad doc appmts. I could never do this with a "regular" 8-5 job. It has worked well for 6 years. I know all the teachers I work with are grateful and depend on me. I am treated as an equal professional. I never felt that in other jobs. [/quote]
