As the title says, I want to become a teacher some day (hjopefully soon). The problem is that I am a patent attorney now and am used to my income. If I were to teach highschool, I would be looking at about a 75% pay cut, which is not going to pay my bills (mainly my mortgage).

Anyone know of any education related jobs that are a bit higher paying than a straight up teacher? I'm not looking for anything extravagent. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-70k would be perfect.

nyc teachers get $70k :Q

Only with a Masters or more after 15 years experience.

NYC teacher pay

in nyc, i thought you MUST have a masters degree by yr5, or your out???

and how do u read that chart?!

Most states now require a Masters within a certain number of years of teaching at the secondary level...however there are numerous ways to get around it.

The columns are education (Bachelors to PhD (or Masters plus specialization)).
The rows are levels based on years of experience, and rather the experience was in or out of state (or maybe just city, can't remember).

This is one of the main problems with the world. Teacher should be a respected and highly paid position.

I have a J.D., which is doctorate level postgraduate degree. So personally I'm not worried about the educational requirements needed to get into the field, except for the classes necessary to obtain a teaching certificate.

It is surprising that many states are requiring teachers to have a masters within a certian number of years though.

Teach when you retire. Make the big bucks now.

like the woz!

but seriously yea he's not going to find a way to do it now. the reality is teachers sacrifice wages for stability/government benifits and work hours/vacations. its easier to lay off a tech worker or patent attorney than a teacher. no matter how f*cked the country gets kids need to go to school.

so that is part of the compensation for a lower wage.

Most districts have emergency options, especially in the much needed areas (special ed, math, science).
