We talk about not being paid enough, but now I see that 16 years and a masters degree has caused my salary to be higher than any entry-level job will pay someone with no experience in the field.

And I can't afford to go back to school again... is this how burnt-out teachers get stuck teaching way past their own expiration dates?

like

National median income: $31,099
Teacher median income: $60,320

Teachers make almost twice as much as the average guy. There's not a problem with teacher salary; there's a much bigger problem with the middle class in general. Let's be thankful for what we have.

So do millions of ppl

Where did these numbers come from, I’m just curious as it took me 13 years to get to the “median” level. I want to see what else was said. 🙂

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=national+median+teacher+salary

I'm still $15,000 shy of that number, but it's still nearly $15,000 more than the average guy. Life could be better, but it could more easily be a lot worse. I'm not complaining.

New teachers/staff make little in comparison to those who have been in the profession for years. Additionally, new hires do not get the same retirement, etc.
