Pay for teachers in Arizona is so awful 😭. I always wanted to teach in my local community but frankly I can't afford it. I want to move to another state where comp is better but I'm not positive where. What do you make & where are you located? For context I'm a 3rd year 2nd grade teacher.

I made great money in San Antonio

New Jersey pays pretty well, but it's more expensive to live here. Seems like cost of living relative to salary is an issue all over.

This is why we have such a shortage of teachers. As an almost retired teacher, I remember when two teachers that were married could buy a home, go on vacations and live a good life. I’m in the Bay Area. Those who were fortunate enough to buy houses years ago are set but those who never got in the housing market are staring at living in cars or commuting several hours each way.

PA Public schools (suburbs)pay well. Most schools are on a step scale. I reached top pay 15 years in 105k.

Very true! I commute twenty-five miles to school, but leaving early helps; my commute is about thirty-five minutes. Going home takes a bit longer but is not too bad. The suburban city where I work has high achieving students, so the commute is worthwhile.

Teachers here making 100k plus must live hundreds of miles away. They spend their days on the road.

Yes, housing is expensive in California but I do not anyone driving "hundreds" of miles to work. I'm in the OC, own a home, and know teachers who live 30 miles away because they could purchase a home.

Try teaching in my district. They hire new employees ( some of whom left and came back) at a much higher salary than current ( union) employees. It’s frustrating!!

I feel for you, looking at the average salary down there and it is crazy. I make about 60k a year teaching 2nd grade in Seattle, but I know that up here we're well above the national average. Don't give up hope! Maybe join a teachers group or something.

3rd year Class AA in Mississippi: $44,600

17 YOE = 103K in SoCal. Go into secondary teaching, primary teaching pays sh*t pretty much everywhere. I live 10 mi away from my school, has a better suburbia community than the urban, kinda ghetto comm my school is in.

I have taught in 4 districts in NY and elementary, middle, and HS levels. There was never a distinction in pay. Always based on education and years of experience.
Elementary classroom teachers are amazing! They get very few breaks and have 20+ little people calling their name 6+ hours a day

In Connecticut first year teachers make about 50 to 55 thousand. My district top step 3 master’s is 108,000. Next year it’ll be 112,000. But the cost of living is ridiculous

We used to be an affordable place to live until everyone and his/her dog moved here and investment groups bought up land and built houses, apartments, and retail everywhere. They’ve totally ruined our hilly landscape and quality of life. Our schools have suffered in many ways.
Here, our first-year teachers make 51-53k. The problem is with those who decided to make this a career and not a 1-5 year gig. No teacher in my district can make more than about $70-72 K unless you get a bigger band or football stipend. That being said, when I look at the higher paying states, they would never take all my years of experience, and the COL is even higher than here, especially gas, food, and housing.

In New Mexico you would get $50,000 as a level 1 teacher. The governor just gave that raise. However, NM is last in education throughout the country and there are definite issues in the state. Santa Fe is a nice place to live but becoming less and less affordable - and the administration in the school district is terrible.

In the three counties around Detroit, a 3rd year teacher would make ~$42K. $47k with a Masters. Less as you move away from SE Michigan.

We top out at ~$100K

I believe pay in Florida is close to $50,000 for 2nd grade teachers as of 11/22.

3rd year, bachelor's and no other education in my district in Alaska get close to 58k a year. W/ a master's it's a bit over 64. We are hiring in the ASAP for elementary teachers.

Missouri (last in average teacher pay) 23 years with 16 hours beyond masters $53,000. Arkansas pays better and has better benefits, many teachers are going across the border to work.

Yikes. Of course...perhaps cost of living is cheaper there. Being near Seattle in the tech industry, with rents in the 3k+ each month, 53k wouldn't cut it. Even for year 1.

Washington - you'll make over 100K by 15 years. (downside...never a raise again). Benefits are getting worse since we moved to a state based benefits plan, but the pay is still high and you can support yourself on it.
