Certified Teachers in Yonkers NY, with an MA and three years of experience earn $85,000. In Scarsdale, NY the median salary for teachers is $95,000. This is for an average of 180 days work per year, with excellent benefits and pension. Most teachers are married, and if their spouse is also an educator the income reaches the 5% highest in income for the US. There are also a number of profs who receive over $2,000,000 per year (mostly surgery MD's). The point, salaries for teachers and profs depend on location not profession. The sheer number of teachers who earn substantially more than most sports players is also overwhelming.

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to give a BIG thanks to everyone who replied to me. You have blown me away with your kindness and amounts of input. I appreciate all of your grad school and career suggestions, they've opened my eyes to the fact that there is probably less limitation out there for me than I thought. I have thought about going into teaching but..no. lol My mom thinks I'd be great at it, but I have no patience and I want to make schedules and assignment lists for people when I know probably over half of them won't even complete! I dunno, maybe I'm making it seem worse than it is. Plus, teachers and profs don't get paid near as much as they should anyways. It's almost a stab in the heart what they get paid for all that they do, yet sports stars get paid millions to run around, sweat like pigs, and play with each other, go figure!! Anyways, I do appreciate your help and I look forward to future posts. Happy Tuesday!! Gretchen P.S. How do I change the amount/way I get posts? I'm getting individual ones but I want the digest so I don't fill up my account so fast. I tried to change it last night but it didn't work - help! ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
