I am a certified preschool-kindergarten teacher with 8+ years of teaching experience. Where should I move to to get paid the best salary?

I know we are not one of the highest paying states but our district ALWAYS has job openings. We are next to a military base and cannot build schools fast enough. You can check out our district website for openings and a salary schedule.
We have 50 in elementary positions and close to 100 open positions total.
Also, we have a low cost of living and affordable housing.
The NEA has a site for pay by state... http://www.nea.org/edstats/RankFull06b.htm

The answer can be ambiguous because while New York, California, and Texas may tend to pay higher teachers salaries, they also are more costly to live in these states.
Thus, you want a place like Pennsylvania, where the pay is near the top, but the cost of living isn't too high either.
Good Luck....

In NJ we have many preschool programs which are school district-based so you would be on the same pay scale as any other certified teacher. You may or may not get credit on the salary scale for your years of experience. Starting salaries can be around 40,000. Good luck!

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

Well, both have their ups and downs... Isn't there any chance to have them both? I know someone who has a full time job at a high school, but is also an asociate assistant professor at the local college... I don't know if this is possible in your part of the world, but you should try to find out! Personally I daydream about becoming BOTH a college professor and a high school teacher.... I hope I'll get to do these two things, be it at the same time or at different point in my future career.... Good luck to you!!!

This is also depends on the amount of education you have plus your years of experience.
