what teachers have the best salary? what subject and/or location? what degree s required?

Answer 1

Teachers are one of the lowest paid professionals in our society. If you are thinking of going into teaching to make a small fortune, then you should probably start with a large one! Most teachers pay for many of their classroom supplies out of their own pockets. Don't go into the teaching field in the hopes of making a lot of money; it probably won't happen. Do it because you love it and feel it is your calling, otherwise, I'm afraid you'll soon move on to greener pastures! Good luck in whatever you do!!

Answer 2

In most places teaching pay is based on education and experience. More education (such as a master's degree or additional graduate hours) will earn more money than those with just a bachelor's degree (the minimum requirement for teaching), and more experienced teachers earn more than novice teachers. In addition, teachers earn extra money for working with activities such as coaching sports, directing plays, etc. Almost every district has a salary schedule that details exactly what teachers in that district will earn. Within a district, subject and location have little or nothing to do with income.

In general urban and suburban locations pay better than rural locations, and the "blue" states (those that are politically more liberal) pay better than the "red" states. Sometimes terachers in a shortage area, such as special education, science, or English as a second language will receive a bonus.

Answer 3

The school districts that have the most money generally pay the best. Places that have higher per capita earnings and higher housing costs because schools are ususally funded through property taxes. On the college level the higher your education and the more you publish affects your salary as well as the University you teach in. State universities offer the most stable employement and well known and expensive private colleges whose alumni make big money such as Harvard and Yale. Smaller private colleges do not pay as much and often times you are better paid as a high school teacher in a an affluent public school community. If you are going into education for money you are deluding yourself. The minimal education is a bachelors degree in education along with student teaching. The more credits you earn and time you put in after you get hired, the better your salary, but a lot of districts do not want to hire people with a ton of credits because they can hire new teachers at teh lowest rate. Its better to wait with the credits until after you get your job.

Answer 4

Sadly, it doesn't matter what subject you teach...you get paid the same. For example, a high school English teacher generally has to work 15-20 hours more per week than most other types of high school teachers. English teachers make the same as a Gym teacher. Not fair.

Answer 5

It's not that science teachers make more than math teachers, or 4th grade teachers make more than English teachers, it's all in the degree you have. Masters level teachers in my state make $1,000 more a year than BA teachers. Many districts won't hire a PHD teacher because they can't afford them. Teacher that earn their PHD usually get a more executive level position out of "the trenches".

Answer 6

PhD teachers mostly get good salary. medical sciences is the subject and atleast PhD is required

Answer 7

Bi-Lingual teachers get the best pay,the hiher the degree the more pay...subject really doesnt matter...and you at least need a certification.

Answer 8

RIght now I live in Portland Oregon, starting salary is about $31,000 if I move to Nevada my salary can jump for $36,000+ if I move to Nampa Idaho I can make $30,000.

Hope that gives you an idea.

Answer 9

I've heard teachers talking about leaving the state to go to Maryland to teach because it pays more. That's all I've heard to help you.
