Well, that sounds good to me.  I don't think I have ever before heard a teacher happy about the amount left after taxes .... at least that is how I am interpreting your details ... or do you mean you don't have much left after taxes?  My thoughts would be to go where you are happy and where you feel you are making a difference.  Those of us who make a career of teaching don't usually do it for the money.

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

The first thing you need to do is get enrolled in a teacher training program at a local university or college. Also, you  could look of the Department of Education online. It would be easy to find by doing a search. For example, if you wanted to teach in Ohio, you would do a search for Ohio's Department of Education website.

Missouri Has the Best Cost of Living and would be nice, I'm  told the weather is modest..however Washington State has the Highest Minimum Wage and they have it good there with your option of Ocean, Mountain,etc and a wide varity of job Markets.

I'm from Long Island and I'm a teacher... I have dozens of friends with teaching degrees on Long Island and no one can find a job.  The reason is because Long Island pays teachers so well that there is a high demand for jobs in that Field.  The majority of people start off as subs.  me... I moved to Tennessee.  Yeah, LI pays better - but the cost of living is extremely high... so it makes no difference.

I work as a sub in Ohio, and even though there are an over abudence of teachers here it's still easy to pretty much get as many days as you want.  The secret is to sign up at like two or three school districts and not restrict yourself to just your subject area and grade.  I'm a 7-12 English teacher, but I've subbed all subjects and everything from grades 4-12.  Don't limit yourself.  And try to get into school districts that use an internet based call off system.  That way you can check for things on the internet and through a phone call. Super easy.  Happy job hunting.

http://www.sbec.state.tx.us/\n\nOn this website you will find what you need to become a teacher in Texas.  They do not list salaries, but they do have the names of the school districts in Texas.  Usually those individual districts have their own web-sites with salaries listed.\n\nAlso, do a search of the city where you want to work.

I could tell you what a History secondary school teacher makes in Rhode Island - but if you want any area in the Southeast the best site to go is at the American Federation of Teachers for average salaries for school teachers  http://www.aft.org/presscenter/releases/2005/salary_map.htm

Teaching jobs are in demand throughout most of the U.S.\n\nGiven all those choices, why would you want to live in Rhode Island?

I have taught in New Orleans, Houston, and Miami.\nI have also taught in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Dubai, UAE, and more recently in Paris. I can say all of the jobs overseas were a JOY. The kids were totally calm, respectful, oh I could go on. But I have to love all my students, no matter how much they can make me climb a wall!

There is an office at the state board of education that deals with teacher certifications.  You can find them easily by searching on the Internet - like "Florida department of education" in the search window, or something like that.   \n\nIf your degree is in teaching you should have no problem... there will be numerous hoops to jump thru, but none will be too hard (fingerprints, transcripts, experience...)  it may seem complicated, but just get the check in the box and you'll be good. \n\nIt is better to deal with the state office vice the county office... the state guys know the rules and will give you the straight skinny the first time.  At the county, who knows...\n\nGood luck and welcome to the profession. \n\nCheers!

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 :)

I am a retired teacher. I think your best bet would be to go to a teacher's employment agency to see what they have to offer. Usually the one who hires pays the fee.\n\nAlso, you could look in the local papers, particularly on a Sunday where classified ads abound for teacher openings. Look under "Education" in the classifieds.\n\nFurther, The NEW YORK TIMES, Sunday edition is an excellent resource. It was a great help to me when I relocated once in my career.\n\nGood luck.

North Carolina.  That state's close, has beautiful land, great paying jobs and it's close to the beach.
