It varies so much from region to region that it would be best for you to check online for a pay scale for your area. Most counties have a listing for public record available. New teachers with good qualifications earn just under $30,000 in Arkansas. Each state board of education also has regional and state averages posted online for use by those who are interested.

First, you must have your bachelor's degree (it can be in anything).  Then, you need to take the CBEST (covers basic skills) to get into a credentialing program.  Next you need to take your credential classes and take a subject matter exam (CSET).  Once you pass, you will be allowed to do your 1 semester of student teaching.  If you are successful, then you will be able to apply for your teaching credential.\n\nSome places do have an "intern" program, where you can start teaching sooner, but you will still have to pass the tests first.\n\nAs for salary, a starting teacher will make anywhere between $30,000 - $45,000 depending on the district and how much education you have.

According to a 2001 report, $28,804.10 to start in the first probationary year, with annual increases under a defined salary structure, along with a variety of benefits.\n\nIt's unclear if that's the most accurate information.  I've included a link to a news article that describes salaries for a few positions.

In FL, we have 2 paths for Elementary Education one is Elementary Education (K-5) the other is PreK Primary which is prek -3.  I think teaching is a "good" profession as it is high demand, you can move and easily find a job, there are a lot of opportunities for continuing growth, the kids are pretty cool and you get a lot of time off.  Now the bad, the salary is kind of crap, parents can be a pain in the butt,  no child left behind (not even the little kid in the back who sleeps everyday and is borderline abused and doesn't eat at home and has to stay up cleaning the house) ie you are responsible for the education of every kid in your room regardless of their home life (and some are pretty terrible).  I love teaching!  But it is NOT an easy job!!!  But can be very rewarding.

Depends on the specialty. But pediatricians actually make the LEAST amount out of any specialty.\n\nThink ~$80k, compare that to an orthopedic surgeon who can make $300k starting.

Depends on the school grade, state, district, and if you include pension benefits. Also dependent on your degree and number of years being a teacher you can make as much as 54,000 or as little as 30,000. This is for California.

Teaching preschool can be very stressfull.  The number of students depends of the state requirements.  For 4 year olds it's usually 10 kids to 1 adult.  Most classrooms have up to 20 kids with one qualified teacher and an aide.  Depending on how the teacher runs the classroom, determines how loud and stressfull it is.  There needs to be a daily lesson plan as well as a behavior plan with individual goals for the children depending on their needs.  A well organized, experienced teacher can make a world of difference.

It depends on your certification, the budget of the program you work for and how much experience you have.  Our highest ranked SLP makes between 60,000-70,000 a year.  I'll let you do the math.

Depends on the school district, state, etc.  But on average I would have to say about 40k to start out.  Some may pay more or less.  The more education a teacher has and the more experience the more teacher's get paid.  The following is my school districts website that shows teacher salaries. http://www.rusd.k12.ca.us/hr/sal/SalSchedCert.pdf\n You can find them in any school districts website.  I have been teaching for 4 years and I have my masters so that puts me up in the salary scale.  I LOVE MY JOB.  There is a lot that goes into teaching, more than most people think. You get pulled in all different directions and do more than just teach.  It takes a lot of careful planning and dedication.  Be ready for upaid overtime hours (which sounds horrible but I knew coming in to the profession what I was getting myself into) Just be sure that this is truly what you want.  We owe it to our students to like being there everyday to teach them.  :)

It depends upon how much experience you have in the classroom.  There is a salary schedule on the New York City Department of Education web page that looks like salaries start at $41,172.  Look under Employees, then Teachers/School Based Staff, then Salary Schedules\nhttp://www.nycenet.edu/Offices/DHR/

I encourage each and every person who thinks teaching is an easy job to become one. Go to college, get your 4-year degree in education and a specialty (subject area, elementary, special ed, bilingual, etc.), and get a job "doing nothing." For a more detailed description of what you face, go to this question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtVb_TJAUD4OKZrC6Y4p6tDsy6IX?qid=1006040702012\n\nDuring summer vacation, teachers...\n\n-- plan for the following year, make new centers and activities, etc.\n-- take professional development courses\n-- teach summer school\n-- teach summer courses at a nearby college\n-- spend time with their families, parenting, etc.\n-- do community volunteer work\n-- work a second job\n-- train with the National or State Guards\n\nand so on.\n\nAlso, many districts are going to the "Year-round" calendar, and therefore have only about 2 to 4 weeks, instead of 10, for summer vacation. Therefore, all the teachers do for those breaks is hurridly spend time with family and work on their plans for the next session. Teacher's official contract time is 182 days or so (1/2 year)... but that doesn't count weekends (104 days per year) so teachers really are hired on their contracts for 286 days. Teacher take lots of their work home with them, and do lots of meetings, trainings, additional college classes, etc. during the remaining "off" days (all 11 weeks... spring break is one week, 10 weeks for summer).\n\nBefore you knock teachers regarding pay, consider...\n\nTo be a teacher requires at least a 4-year college degree, and most districts now are encouraging their staff to earn Master's degrees and Doctorates.\n\nA person with a 4-year degree in Accounting STARTS at least at $40,000. In Computer Science at least at $45,000. In Chemical Engineering at $52,000. And so on.\n\nThe AVERAGE teacher, for that AVERAGE pay of $40,000, has a Master's Degree and about 15 YEARS of experience.  Most teachers start at around $25,000 to $30,000 per year. By their 15th year, it has only risen to $38,000 average (not $40,000). For those of you out there that don't quite grasp how long 15 years of experience is... if you are 25 when you graduate and get your first job, you'll be 40 years old before you see that $38,000 pay. \n\nWith 15 years of experience, the AVERAGE salaries for people with Master's Degrees (most 15-year or better teachers have a Master's) are Geologists with Petroleum companies etc. $110,000, Video Game Programmers $85,000, Video Game Animators $75,000, Buisness Services Technology Application Directors $98,000, Lawyers $95,000, etc. All you have to do is Google "average salary experience degree," and start clicking down the list.

This depends on where and what they are teaching. Anywhere from 18K to 52K depending.

Each governor makes different amounts obviously. In Florida, the governor makes $123,175 a year, plus the standard pension and benefits of a state employee. Teachers make vastly different amounts across the state and even at the same school, depending on experience, etc. The state average is $41,578 as of the 2004 school year.\n\nEdit: I can't find information that detailed online. You may want to contact the Governor's Department of Policy and Budget at one of the sites below.

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...

Starting salary is $31,755.
