Damn. Friggin honesty ruined me again *shakes fist*
I was retarded in my first 2 years of University and drank myself into academic probation. If I achieved an average in my first two years as I did in my last four I would've been able to get in somewhere in Ontario. Oh well, after I graduate from NU I will be accepted into not only the Ontario college of Teachers but also the New York college of Teachers which is transferable to 42 different states, I might very well look at working down south, Hawaii, Florida, Arizona, California.....all sound nice, but I heard teachers get paid crap down there too so I'll have to wait and see. |
Teachers get paid crap and have horrid benefits everywhere in the states with the exception of Conneticut. That country would be one of the last places I would want to teach in. Especially the way teachers are held in such low-regard by students and parents. |

that depends what you consider crap. NYC teachers get their masters paid for (or reimbursement), and start around $45-50 G FIRST year, and continue to move up (very steadily i might add!) If you reach tenure in any position, you can make between $90-100,000. How do I know this? I work in a NYC school.
My sisters boyfriend works in a school in Long Island (he calls it the mexican school if you get the picture...) He has his masters paid for, makes $70,000, and gets paid $10,000 for each season of varsity sports he coaches (he does foot ball and wrestling). At the age of 25, he is making upwards of $90G with no student loans for his masters. He owns a large home with no help from his parents. Now, consider if he actually worked in a higher-class neighborhood or private school, he would make even more.
That is not to say that all areas make huge DOUGH, but even in my hometown, a small town in upstate NY, with 250 people in my high school, the teachers get their college paid for and they start at $45G. Not horrible salary to make at the age of 22 in a school imo. |

Holy , no wonder the US has such a huge debt. That money he's making may not be worth much in a few years. |

Obviously not just the outrageous pay of teachers is the only reason, but one of many stupid, typical decisions of a government that is way way to big for its own good. |

I think they deserve every dime, and quite honestly, if there are to make cuts, a teachers pay is certainly never a cut that I will support. :rolleyes:
And how is making $70G, in Long Island of all places, outrageous?? the standard of living there is incredibly high, and making $70 G there is like making $40 G in a rural area. :rolleyes: Think about what you are saying here. |

Thought about it...
I think 90Gs for a teacher is too much and if they are like the teachers union here than it is waaaay too much. |

You have no relative measure of comparison; both mean and dispersion...then can you suggest it's very high. Long Island is not cheap. |
