The salary is a bit misleading because of working 9 months. take the salary divide by nine then times 12 is the real salary, that ls not including the gold plated health and ension benifits.
I'm replying before checking to see if someone else has, but please, by all means break it down by hours worked in AND out of the classroom during those 9 months and then any work during the 3 months "off" and see if it doesn't more than cover a traditional 12-month job...
You are funny, PP. Ive met tons and tons of stressed out nurses, doctors, lawyers and office workers. I am surrounded by teachers (mom, sister, best friend, my kids' teachers, and NONE of them are stressed. They live on easy street. Dont try to bs and say otherwise. But im in Cali, where they all make 80k+ and only work 180days (half the year!!).
Well, being around so many teachers, than you should know the STUDENTS go to school for 180 days.
Please, refrain from commenting on things you don't understand.

I'll hit close to $100K by the year's end b/c they factored steps back into the system. I'll be at an 18 with a masters plus 30 (should be at a 21 but took childcare leave).
At this point I could never find a job that paid me that salary and gave fantastic benefits (health and retirement - And we fund our own, too.)
I've been offered jobs in the private sector, but nothing came close.

It is public knowledge. Any public school website has the information.
Here is MCPS. Teachers are on pg. 2 under "Teacher/Other MCEA Positions" If you know the # of years someone has been teaching, you will pretty much know their salary (except we are currently two steps behind. So if someone has been teaching for 12 years, they are making what 10 year teachers make).

Another lawyer here. I can't imagine being a teacher - I couldn't hack it and don't have the patience. I can handle long hours, unrelenting stress and constant deadlines. What I couldn't handle is dealing with two dozen kids (at least half with parents that didn't teach them good habits/values), no down time and bureaucratic b.s. on top of the daunting task of getting through to kids. You'd have to pay me $300,000+ to even consider teaching.
I have so much respect for people that do it, incl my sister who did Teach For America and is now a 1st grade teacher.

In CA, teachers make tons more. My mom with just a BA quickly made 70k, this was in the late 90s (LAUSD). Im sure its more now. My cousin is also a teacher in LA and Im sure makes 80+k, but she's nationally certified, MA, etc.
And she has a million perks-- most days her kids are off at noon. And gets 3 weeks for christmas (really!), 1 wk spring break and 2 months in the summer.
I am a state govt lawyer and earn LESS than my cousin and get only 3wks off.
So there's that. :-/

I think too, that there needs to be a mass exodus out of teaching. Teachers need to take those "other jobs" that so many refer to.
FWIW you couldn't pay me enough to spend all day in a classroom anymore. At one time I would have loved it, spent two years as an assistant. Not now. I wouldn't want to deal with many of the parents or the kids they produce.

These threads make me laugh. "Make sure you list where you work."
How about everyone lists their jobs, where they work, and how much they are paid. Also what their job entails for that income.
Administration
Receptionist
HR
Lawyer
Legal Assistant
Marketing
Sales
etc. etc.
It won't happen I know. OP why didn't you just look it up?

what's your problem? You seem like the biggest complainer on the topic. Did you not read the posts about the teachers who love their work and understand it is not a high paying job. It sounds like you didn't have very good teachers and are bitter about it.
