Salary.com reports that the median salary for a HS teacher in LA is $52K. I don't know if buying a membership at the site would provide more detailed info (such as for private school, art department, first year, etc.).

It totally depends on the state you live in and what type of school it is. The two highest paying states are Cali and NY. Public schools usually range starting anywhere from 34,000 to 38,000. However, private schools  pay the less(anywhere you live). I know some teachers who only make 24,000 a year!  I believe that the South pays the lowest for teachers, however I know the cost of living is lower too. \nIt is a hard question to answer. It depends on location, and what type of school it is.

Take it from me.  Talk to your student advisor at your college or university.  What type of teacher you deside to become will deside on which classes you need to take.  \nWhich grade will pay more?  Ok, here are some things I do know.  Usually College Professors get paid the most.  It also depends on where you live and how musch that state pays for teachers.  Public schools pay more per year that Private schools do.  Most Public schools pay by the year and not by salary like Public school.  Also it is like with any other job, you get paid by your experience.  I know for a fact that most teachers salary or rate of pay is baced on their experience (yrs of teaching, what level, etc).

The following link shows the salaries in Los Angeles Unified School District.  I am not sure what the surrounding districts are but it can give you a good idea of what starting salary is.\nhttp://www.teachinla.com/research/documents/TAnnual2005-06_000.pdf

Most of what the one poster said is true, with a few exceptions.\n\nA good math teacher may start at 35000, but can end up at the better end of 60,000 after a few years.\n\nComputer science is actually a fairly in demand major, despite the tech bubble burst. They are still reporting starting salaries in the 50,000 range. The burst caused an exodus in the computer science major, which has actually worried companies like Microsoft, Intel, IBM, etc.\n\nYou have the equivalent of an A.S. degree, though. A decent salary might be 22-25 thousand.

If it is a public institution, go to the library and request the salary book, they are required to have it. Otherwise check http://www.chronicle.com/ and see their data section for average pay based on institution.

This question would be much easier answered if you told us where you would like to live!!  Salaries vary greatly among states.  Within states, districts try to be competitive by offering incentives and bonuses. If you're interested in North Carolina, you can go to: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/salary_admin/salinfo.htm\nYou'll be able to find basic salary information at each state's superintendent's office.\n\nThe best site that I know of to launch an national teaching job search is: http://www.teachers-teachers.com/\n\nGood luck!!\n\nHave an AWESOME day!!\n\nCosmicKelly :)

Welcome to the profession!\n\nFirst, if your district does not assign mentors for first year teachers, ask your principal to recommend someone in your building that is experienced, friendly, and has excellent classroom management skills. Plan to have regular observations, both him/her observing your room, and you observing theirs, and discussions with them about it.\nSecond, get to know your specialists...ELL teachers, special ed teachers, music/art/PE/library teachers, etc. Be aware of their strengths, and turn to them when planning for and developing instructional strategies for students in your class.\nThird, avoid "clique" participation. Stay open and friendly, as much as you can, with all staff, but stay away from becoming a part of any small sub-group, especially gossipy groups.\nFinally, have detailed plans way ahead of time, and then expect to change those plans daily. Having the overall structure in place ahead of time gives you a scaffold from which to do your daily adjustments.\n\nClassroom management is 90% of the success of your classroom. Set clear, simple rules and consequences, and be firm, inflexible, and fair in implementing those rules and consequences. Plan and practice classroom routine the first couple of days (what do you want your kids to do, step by step, when they need to sharpen a pencil, use the bathroom, get a drink of water, finish their work, etc., etc.).\n\nGood luck!

It varies, but generally, no.  The average starting salary for a teacher (public school) is less than $30,000.  This is slightly less than your average secretary.  \n\nPlus, a lot of teacher's salaries are capped (esp. in public schools) so even after 20+ years of service and mastery in their field, they can't earn more than a certain amount.\n\nSome good stat's at US News & World Report...

$ 79,394 - $ 96,504 (Employee pays 9% PERS contribution)\n\nEDIT:\n\nToo funny: "in los angeles, LAPD starts at $53K, so it's much less in milipitas."\n\nYes, Los Angeles obviously pays much more than Milpitas.

Beginning teachers make the same thing whether you are teaching band or algebra, middle school or high school. Certain positions do get stipends such as marching band or coaching.  How much you make depends on the area---could be 26000-35000 to begin with...teaching is not the best paid job.

Salaries of lawyers vary widely according to the type, size, and location of their employer. Lawyers who own their own practices usually earn less than those who are partners in law firms. \n\nAs mentioned in my opening statement location plays a large role in average median salary. Additionally, those who work in large cities (i.e. New York, Los Angeles, & Boston) reported the highest median salaries at around $125,000. \n\nAverage Median Salary For Entry Level Lawyers 2005 \n\nNortheast, at $125,000, \nWest at $112,500\nSouth at $105,000 \nMidwest at $95,000 \n\n**Highest First Year Salary reported by NALP was $130,000**\n\nAs expected, each year of associate experience brings several thousand dollars in increased compensation: median salaries for eighth-year associates ranged from $109,000 in small firms to $181,500 in the largest firms, with a median for all reporting firms of $145,000.\n\nFor more information and statistics please refer to the source of much of this information at http://www.nalp.org/press/details.php?id=56

WA state teacher's pay is in the top quartile of the national average. As for it being a living wage, it depends on where you live: the Seattle area is very expenisive compared to other parts of the state. I live in Vancouver, WA and consider the area to be very affordable. Oh, and there is NO state INCOME TAX! AS for ESL, I don't know about that but I do know there are large numbers of non-native speakers of English in SW WA.
