[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher age 44. I am almost at the top of the salary range at 103k.  Sad to know it won’t really ever get higher.  At the same time, I have good flexibility.  Time with family.  Nice summers.  Every day is different.  Like my students.  Good benefits.  Job for life, followed by a pension.  I can’t complain about the balance at all.  Now focused on investing and keeping a low cost of living.[/quote]

Where do you teach? Do you have a higher-earning spouse? Kids?[/quote]

I wouldn’t call $103k “low earning” at all. That’s $120K annualized and the fact that you get a pension is golden[/quote]

I didn't call it low earning either. How many years have you been teaching?[/quote]

That's about what DH and I each make teaching. We are at the top of the MA+30 scale with Fairfax County Schools. I've been with the district for 15 years, but was given credit for 10 previous years when I started so I began at pay step 11. Unfortunately I have many years to go before I'm eligible for full retirement benefits. DH has 29 years with the district.[/quote]
