Hi ladies, I'd like to become a school principal, and I'd love to know the path to that from being an educator, as well as if you think it would be more rewarding or enjoyable. I'm getting a little worn out with the hands on nature of teaching.

I returned to school after my two children graduated high school to get my Masters in Leadership. I have enjoyed the admin role to be able to better serve those who work with the students. The salary was not an incentive. My spouse and I both have been in education about the same number of years. Due to his extra duties, he makes almost what I earn but spends a significant number of hours per week less than I do at work. Go I. To admin for the right reason

Do you have a master's degree? That would be your next step. Then getting the certifications in your state

In Texas it requires a M.Ed. that would be my only thought. Are you at a point in your life that you want to go back to school?

NY also requires additional education. You have to have a master's (in something related to education) as well as at least a certificate in Educational Leadership. You also have to have taught for at least 3 years.

Yes I think it would be more rewarding just based on the salary alone. The principal makes double the salary of the average teacher at my school.

First, don't assume that everyone who teaches is a lady.

Even as a woman, I am not a lady.

Get a master's degree in educational leadership or school administration. After that, head straight to completing principal preparation program and getting your principal's license. Then you're ready for applications.

Why companies don’t even consider candidates with OPT? :( I feel they really don’t even look at my candidate profile when they read I will require sponsorship in the future.
As a data analyst I have a STEM OPT that allows me to work here in the US for up to 3 years (a lot of time to prove myself or even pivot my career and change of company for them not to worry about sponsoring me) but still I feel they don’t care. MOST companies, I should say.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
