[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of law and medicine which jobs require a masters? I think there are far more jobs that Don’t require a masters than ones that do ?[/quote]

Lots of DC area “policy” jobs do.

Don’t most teachers have a master’s now?[/quote]

Yeah, teachers get a silly Masters in Education that even teachers think is stupid...but it's an automatic pay bump, so why not.

If I recall the govt also has automatic pay bumps for advanced degrees and there was a scandal about people getting mail-order advanced degrees. [/quote]

Let’s make sure we don’t pass up an opportunity to insult teachers!

Regarding teaching: yes, many districts require a masters now. And, despite what the PP says, many of us have different degrees. My neighbor has Library Science, the teacher across the hall has a masters in English Literature (as do I). The science teachers upstairs have masters (and even 2 PhDs) in their content area: Chem, Physics, etc.

So, no… not all “silly” education degrees. But points for being insulting.[/quote]

56% of HS teachers have a Masters or higher. A Masters in Education is by far the most popular masters degree.

Care to cite that? And I’m wondering if you bothered to look into that data. I’m guessing many secondary teachers have masters in their content area, which is consistent with what I’ve seen over 20 years of teaching. And those ed degrees? How many of them are admin-based, which is required to advance into administration?

And, to play around with this: if you look at the trends on this thread, it seems that teaching requires more education than most fields (even if they get “silly” education degrees).

Makes me wonder if we are paid enough… [/quote]
