[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LMAO I do not make 80k. You just made up an arbitrary number of years and went with that number [/quote]

it wasn't totally arbitrary- you said you had multiple degrees, and had several years of experience teaching.  So I went with the 'masters plus 30 units' scale and assumed about 10 years of teaching experience.

But honestly- if you go with masters plus 30 units and assume 5 years of experience- you would be making about 63k, which would turn into 76k over 12 mos.  I still don't know entry level jobs (outside of biglaw) that employee people at 76k starting out.   [/quote]

You don’t know jobs that pay 63k for people with multiple degrees and other work experience (because teaching is not my first and only job)? Lol ok [/quote]

I've been teaching 13 years and have my masters plus 30 in APS and don't make that much either- we've had years of pay freezes/no step increases since I started teaching. My younger brother has a bachelors degree in computer programming and has been working just over a year- he makes more $$ than me.[/quote]

Do you have the same computer programming skills?  Someone else’s salary is irrelevant unless you have the qualifications for that job.[/quote]

Yes that’s exactly the point though right?? There are lots of entry level jobs that make way more than a teacher with 13 years of experience. But no, I’m an overpaid teacher.[/quote]

Whether teachers are adequately compensated is off topic from this discussion.  The issue was how realistic it is for current teachers to find new non-teaching jobs at a comparable salary on short notice in a pandemic when unemployment rates are above average.  That someone else made more than you as an entry level computer programmer is completely irrelevant to that question unless you have the necessary skills for an entry level computer programming job.[/quote]
