[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a HS teacher in a good suburban school who is 1 year away from retirement.

If your child really wants to be a teacher, and if public school may be in their future (it does pay better than privates), they should get their masters in the subject area.

Dual enrollment is the "next new big thing". The program is growing quickly. I think it will replace AP in the near future. To be DE certified, you need a masters in the field, not in education.[/quote]

I am the PP with a daughter who is a freshly minted teacher in FCPS with a degree @Caltech and MBA @Harvard.  Teaching is, according to her, very rewarding mentally, but it does leave a big hole for her financially.  Fortunately, she doesn't have to worry financially because she spent eight years making big money on Wall Street and invested her money wisely so that she can do what she loves to do, which is teaching and not having to worry about money.  Otherwise, I don't think she would become a teacher without the solid financial support that she built prior to becoming a teacher.
