What benefits does your employer offer? Feeling bummed that I make less and have less benefits than my friend who’s a preschool teacher. 😭

This might be location dependent, but generally teachers will cap out their major salary gains at a certain point. You’ll continue to increase and in the long run you’ll make more. You’ll get big raises with promotions.

Also they’re dealing with teaching tiny humans all day. They deserve more than they’re getting. We’re selling things.

@senior cw - my wife is a teacher and what you characterize sounds like a misconception. For example, she teaches in New York and was required to earn a masters degree to hold her certification. Sure you can suck and get a masters but those are the minority. The job market in that field is also incredibly hit or miss. Sometimes anyone can get in (right now), other times it’s really tough to break into the good jobs when established teachers won’t retire.

I think this post got taken the wrong way - I’m by no means saying that teachers don’t deserve the pay. I’m just saying that it feels like this field sucks when I’m making less than a preschool teacher, who has excellent work/life balance (they don’t take home a lot of work like older grades!). Not to mention, amazing benefits that include loan forgiveness and 5+ weeks off not counting her sick or standard vacation time. Teachers totally deserve it, but I also worry that I’m working a more stressful job (in terms of late nights & almost no time off) with less pay and benefits (I don’t have dental). My initial reaction when I found out how much she makes was just that I’m in the wrong field, not that she doesn’t deserve it. 😂

@PM1 she’s a preschool teacher. So, sort of private?

Every agency offers different employment benefits- most have some form of subsidized health/dental/eye coverage/401K, etc. Some have better packages than others. It’s weird that you’re comparing your benefits in a way that makes it sound like you think as a preschool teacher your friend should have shit benefits though. Care to elaborate on what her benefits are vs yours?

like

Get an institutional or government job if you want good benefits off the bat. Otherwise it takes time to move up the ranks for increased pay and benefits.

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love.
