I find the talk of salary interesting. I never complain about my salary. Currently, I’m at Master’s plus 30 hours with 12 years of experience. I get fourteen weeks off a year. If I went to work in corporate work, I would need to make up those fourteen weeks. There is no way that I could make that in the corporate world with degrees in English or library science. I have also seen teachers quit to go work in corporate and come back. It seems as if you are English teacher, there isn’t a lot of job openings at CAT, etc that need those qualifications. It was also noted that the retirement is better than some in the corporate world! However, if you don’t like teaching, then I suggest you get out by the tenth year. If not, you become too invested in TRS that it’s costly to get out. I enjoy being a teacher, I enjoy being off the same time as my kids, and I do feel that my pay is adequate.
