[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD recently became a teacher at FCPS.  She had a degree in physics at Caltech and an MBA at Harvard.  She worked for eight years at an IB firm and used it to invest in the stock market.  Last year, she decided that she had enough money to not work again so she left her job and enrolled into a fast track program to become a HS teacher.  She is now teaching HS physics at the age of 32.  She told my wife the other day that her FCPS salary is less than one month of her salary at the IB firm but she loves being a teacher.  She is so glad that she is able to help in changing young people's lives.

Her advice for young people to go into a teaching career is to go into a career where you can earn a lot of money for a short period of time.  After that, you can become a teacher because you're not going to make much as a teacher.[/quote]

Are you willing to share the first year teaching salary ? It would be helpful to those considering teaching. Thank you in advance.[/quote]

Her salary was around 54K for a  new teacher in FCPS.[/quote]
