Most public school districts REQUIRE a Master's degree after a certain number of years.


Last I checked they don't get paid well anyways. Strange that the PP put it on their list.

Not Many OP. These days an undergrad degree is barely enough to get a job let alone a well paying one.

These are all STEM fields. Undergrad Econ. degree not likely to be sufficient.


Eh, I had an undergrad ECON degree and was still getting starting offers in the $50k-55k range in the Midwest. I decided to go to grad school but I’m not sure it made much of a difference. This was back in the mid 00s. There’s some math associated with undergraduate economics but nothing close to what’s required in grad school.

back in finance + CPA has served me well. 2004 was my first year working and made 64k. I now hover around 300 but could work more and make more if needed.

OP are you hoping child will have UMC life or middle class?

Teaching pays well? Maybe after 20 years.

OP asked for non-STEM recommendations. OP, can you tell us more about your DC's interests and strengths?
