[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am right there with you. MCPS really needs to do something to retain teachers. The salary schedule is nice to help young teachers 'get to the top' earlier, but I have been sitting at the top for years and there is no room for growth. I get a COLA but that is eaten up by inflation. I am in year 25 and it will probably be my last. It is not what I signed up for 25 years ago. [/quote] I'm in tech and have topped out as an individual contributor. I'd have to go into management to earn more, much like how teachers have to go into admin to earn more. I've also worked till 9pm many times though out my career. DH is also in tech and got laid off at 58. At least you don't have to deal with ageism. I'm also in my mid 50s and worry about getting laid off. If I do, there goes our health insurance. We will have to buy expensive private care. Having stated that, I realize I probably make more than most teachers.[/quote]
