Teaching does NOT make money. You will find that teachers living in financial comfort are married to someone making the big income... it's not from the teacher pay. Most people living on a teaching income only, are either single and living modestly, or hold down a second job on nights/weekends/summers.\n\nIf you want to make the best money possible teaching, then be prepared not to have a life... the only extra money directly from teaching is from stipends, such as sports coaching. That's a big time commitment. Even then, you won't make as good a pay as you would with similar levels of training, time on the job, and degrees in business, law, medicine, etc.

Yes and my father warned me of it, You will never get rich and will work hard. Younger children will keep you sick with all their bugs. The best place to work as a teacher is not the public school system, the private sector doesn't pay well either. That leaves you with the best choice and it is working for the federal government in DoDDs (Department of Defense Dependent schools) Teachers are well paid and respected by the administration, peers and students alike.

More teaching opportunities would open up for you.  You could get a job in a teaching program at a junior college or, in some cases, at a university training others to teach.  You would make more and also not have to deal with little kids.\n\nThis site has a lot of salary related information:\nhttp://www.salary.com

If you have a philosophy of education, review it.\n\nDo you know the latest concerns of educators in your area? \n\nWhat specialty will you offer? Even if you haven't taught before, you need to be ready to sell yourself as good at something.\n\nLook each person in the eye, smile, but don't grin or giggle, if you don't know the answer to a question, say so. Ask for clarification if you don't understand what someone says.\n\nBest wishes.

A couple of ideas for you.\n\nAre any of your loans state loans? If so, some states will "forgive" part of your loans each year if you teach in a designated teacher shortage area (such as a rural area or an urban area).\n\nYou can look for a teaching job in a school district that is paying a signing bonus. Some school districts are giving signing bonuses from $5000-10,000.  Talk with your teacher education director to see if they know places that have a signing bonus.\n\nA good part-time job for teachers is to work as a tutor at a Sylvan Learning Center or one of the similar types of centers. They like to have certified teachers, the tutoring/instruction goes on after school and on weekends, and often they continue these programs into the summer or have summer "learning camps" which you can continue your work into the summer. The pay isn't too bad, and its related to your work, and its part-time hours.

I am a teacher - so I would say it isnt just to make money. I love my job! Being with kids is awesome! Some people are with child-like minds all day but there is no excuse for their behavior. My social world for 7 hours out of my day is 9 year olds and they are blessings - each one of them.

Check with your high school's guidance counselor's office. when I was in school, our school received phone calls from local businesses looking for cashiers, inventory clerks, office people, and other employees. Those employers were sensitive to the available hours that the students could work. The money wasn't great but the experience in business sure was. You have NOTHING to lose by asking about it. If that doesn't work out, look into your own business. Why not make 100% profits after taxes and expenses???

What about enrolling in an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program starting in the summer and getting your teaching credential?  Then you can get a job as a teacher and make more money and get some decent benefits, too.

Absolutely. Every teacher there is going to load you down with handouts, plus you will probably start buying books.

B4 i read ur complete question details - i wanted to suggest you to become a lecturer. There is seriously too much money in this job.\n\nPrivate tutoring + lecturing at school/college is the best.\n\nIf you are good and can really attract lots of students to take tuitions from u.. Trust me my friend - You are getting somewhere!!

i think you get a teacher mark so do well in the other work getting good marks and impressing them might help.

It's a great job with the normal headaches and red tape b.s.\n\nI believe the most important teachers are the primary teachers. If the kids get a good handle on reading and writing at the early stages, things go much easier.\n\nGet your master's degree as soon as possible because the extra money is nice. Vacation days and health insurance is usually pretty good in most school districts. Retirement for a teacher makes social security a joke.\n\nIf you do become a teacher, have high goals of achievement for the kids and yourself. Make earning an "A" difficult. It should be. Forget self-esteem psychology and work on self-acceptance.\n\nGood Luck

Hey babe,god only knows what the first reply was all about,bit of a weird one.\n\nAnways.....down to your question \n\nwell what u have written so far is a great start. You know what you want to gain from the job and also you are very passionate about teaching. Be yourself,if there are certain aspects of the job that you think you could change for the better then say so.If there are parts of the job that you will need to learn more from,tell them.\n\nIf you are honest and upfront and come across natural then you will sail it. Dont just say what you think they want to hear.Be honest,upfront and most importantly,let your personality shine through. Good luck hunny.Mean that.Wish you all the best.Your brave wanting to be a teacher,id crap my pants at the thought of 40 faces staring at me hoping i know the answer.xxxxx

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...
