"I thought getting a job would be a snap"

Quote from S2007S:

They do start between 38-45k but I know of teachers making over $100k a year, I know of another person who is in their 6th year of teaching with a masters making $75k a year and they receive a bit more than 1% annual increases, also remember they only work 180 days a year and get tons of paid holidays off, and the teacher I know gets out around 2:30pm everyday, some teachers complain how tough their job is however don't listen to them when they complain, they are highly overpaid for what they do, just saying!!!!! Oh yea and I know of a few teachers in their mid 50's collecting huge pensions as well....

Can you give more details? What school district, link to union payscale.

Sounds like another Urban tale. NO teacher 6 years in makes 75K

Yeah, it sucks being in the private sector. That's the problem with the economy. No jobs in the private sector because of an unfavorable regulatory environment and government just keeps getting bigger. So the only thing to do is get some stupid government job like teaching and give up all hope.

Plus it is tough to compete with dollar a day employees. An indian programmer earns like 6K a year. Why would a company want to hire americans when you can offshore to india for programming jobs.

Indeed! I did not study my ass off in college and grad school only to find out a simple teacher can make almost as much money as I do!

You might not know, but most of those Indian programmers have no idea what they are doing. Many companies have to recode the work they outsource to India. Software development is quite hard, hence why you need very competent people doing it; it's not like flipping burgers.
