| Any Teachers on Here? If so, I was wondering A- How long you have been teaching? B- How much do you make? Here in NC, we are still BELOW the national average and it is SO frustrating to work so hard and not be able to cover your own personal expenses! I want to have kids in the future too, but don't think I would be able to support them on a teacher's salary, which is sad because I LOVE teaching! Any thoughts?

| Misti1, gingergirlsmom, Eveesmommy are teachers. Ranant12 is a special ed teacher. Kdlmon will be a teacher. She just finished college. Just a few you could contact if you need to talk. There are lots of others. A most noble profession!!!! But has gotten very difficult.

Public schools are over populated and their grades are very low. Thank you Rudy Crew!

| Wow! Im moving to Canada! In Georgia, it depends on the county you live in. Fresh out of college with no experience is about 30,000-38,000, which increases with your years in and different levels of education.

| SW Florida which is different from Miami which is in the east coast. We start at $38 for GEN. ED. first year teachers, and no one is getting a raise this next school year since our county is negative.

| I teach in NJ and my district starts at 45 - it is all public information, well in NJ atleast, so you can just go to your BOE website and the contract info will all be there. My bf and I are both teachers and when we get married and have children there would be no way we could live off of just one of our salaries in NJ.

| Please know that I do understand how difficult teaching can be. My daughter is a fifth grade teacher. One thing to remember is that a teachers salary is for 9 months work. Plus, you have days off over Christmas and spring break (yes, I know teachers don't have as many days off as the kiddos). So, if you calculate a salary of $38,000 over 9 months (about $4222/mo) and then multiply $4222 X 12 months (IF teachers worked 12 months), it would be about $50,600 per year. That salary, while not great, is not too bad either. I realize that teachers don't work 12 months, and as such don't get $50,000 per year - but you have to take into account that teachers dont' work 12 months out of the year. I know in some places teachers work about 10 months, instead of 9 - so calculations would have to be adjusted. I come from a family of teachers - some worked at a different job in the summer months, some stayed home with kiddos. I'm in a unique situation. I'm a nurse and I teach nursing so I work 9 months a year and then have my summers off. My husband has a serious chronic illness which will get progressively worse. So, we are traveling now during the summers, while he still can. I'm very grateful for my teaching job, which allows me to only work 9 months per year. During the summer months, I actually go into my office about 3 days per week (when not traveling) to get caught up and work on projects I don't have time for in the school year. I love being about to work at a more "sane" pace during the summer. My point is that there are plusses and minuses to teaching. What is not good for one person, might be just right for another!

| I have been teaching 4th grade in Miami, Fl. for 15 years, I have a Masters, a Specialist and soon Nationally Certified.I was in school a total of 8 years, equivalent to an attorney and now is when I am making $50,000 a year. As Maxmom said the pay here is not great and it doesn't look like they will honor our contract. Our stipend for being an A school after the FCAT testing is up in the air also. I just finished my National Boards ( I am waiting for the results in November) and while the state says we will get our bonus, if I finally do get certified they will only pay it for the next 10 years. Clearly teaching is not about the money and you certainly won't be wealthy if you teach. I know this may sound corny but my students enrich me everyday with laughter, compliments, perseverance, and a whole lot of patience. After 15 years I really do love what I do.

| I wanted to add that the OP said she really loved teaching. I think that is the key - to whatever you do for a career. It is wonderful if you can really love your work. I know I love going to work (almost) everyday - and that is remarkable after 30 years!!!! It makes life so much easier if you love your job.
