[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! I would have never gone into anything education related. The pay is horrible and the hours are horrible. I would have gone into corporate America and at least would have been paid for the long hours.[/quote]

I’m the opposite. I would’ve gone into teaching because summers are off and there’s a pension![/quote]

Um, our teachers had a pension. That’s been gone for AT LEAST 15 years, probably longer.[/quote]

I’m in NY and we still have an amazing retirement and  an annual increase until retirement. The woman I replaced was making over six figures. The house I bought fresh out of grad school was a tiny, but cute, 1000 sq foot 2 bed one bath. It was on 1/2 acre, in a great school district, in a town so safe that when I bought it they old owner couldn’t even find keys to give me  since no one locks their doors. That house was 62,000 and my starting salarywas 56,000. Just depends on the state and region on how well a person can live on a teacher’s salary. [/quote]
