[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DoDEA jobs are Federal civil service jobs, so salaries are not super high, but they do have good benefits. Retirement is a combination of TSP (like a 401k with a good match) and a small pension component. While working -overseas- for DoDEA, one has access to military on-base health care, commissary (grocery), and the Base Exchange (everything else). [/quote] I taught for DODEA for a few years, and the pay is actually quite nice, especially if you are a stateside hire (I was a local hire). I made about $10K more than I did in the DMV, and if I would have been a stateside hire and qualified for a housing allowance, it would have been an additional $30k or so. Housing allowance will vary by location, however. I wish I could have stayed longer! If he is a certified teacher, I would encourage him to look into DODEA. The hiring is competitive, and in my experience, being certified for multiple subjects is extremely helpful. [/quote]
