^^^Do you plan to go back to school for a professional or graduate degree in the future?
Oh yeah, I definitely want my MBA, the only thing is with most of the schools I'm looking at (Emory, Georgia State, UMD - College Park) most of their incoming students are around 28-29 and have 5 years of work experience. So I'm probably gonna work for a little longer.

Oh I did leave out a couple things:
Is it me or do teachers get broke off pretty nicely? I have a friend that came up to teach in B-more and they started here at 40K with benefits. And almost all my friends back in Atlanta are teachers as well (no matter what they majored in).
The military gets broke off nicely too. I mean they deserve it considering they put their lives on the line. But they get paid though. And add that in with the fact that they don't have to pay for housing. They're just stacking their dollars. Like my best friend from high school. She's been in the Navy for three years and her and her husband (also in the Navy) just bought a four bedroom, four bathroom house with a pool in the backyard sitting on a third of an acre in Virginia Beach. And she's only 24.

Yeah, the military folk get served up somethin REAL nice, but their **** belong to the government!
Oh, and let us not forget that most teachers only work 9 to 10 months a year....but that salary depends on what city your teaching in, and how long they've been teaching. My 11th grade math teacher told us that she was only making 19k a year.....Hell, I damn near make that much now!

Most places DO NOT start off teachers with 40K...teaching is one of the most underpaid professions Ive heard most teachers start out with 25-30k a year IF THAT...That was one thing I was considering doing for a few years too...depending on what type of connections I make while Im still in school and the internships I do...but I was thinking about changing my minor to education to teach for a year or so b4 going to law school cause many school districts will pay a teacher to go to grad or law school...So its not a bad idea and I wont be putting myself into depper debt..Gettin a free education, while teaching, and gettin paid...not a bad deal at all...

Well I know with my friend that's a teacher in Baltimore, she has an option on her contract where she can get her pay extended for the whole year. She still gets the same amount of money but she gets paid year round, so each check is slightly smaller than what she would get if she got paid for 10 months.
See what makes me mad is that back when I was a underclassmen(98-2000), the graduating seniors were getting so many job offers they could negotiate their salaries better, and even got signing bonuses. Folk were coming out in the $40s and $50s. Now the job market is jacked up so you're pretty much happy if you get a job after you graduate. And you're so grateful for it, you don't haggle about salary. And the truth is a lot of times you can't, cause the employer will be like, "Thanks for your time, but we have a candidate that'll do it for $5,000 less than you."

Dang where are these teachers working for that little? I have a friend that's a teaching assistant in NY that makes $25,000. Whatever the case if you stick with teaching you will get broke off. I was reading an article on NEA (www.nea.org/neatodayextra/salaries.html) and the average teacher salary two years ago was $45,891 and it's definitely going up.
^^^^Im from Connecticut and Ct has alotta money, but every teacher Ive everknown always said they STARTED out around 25,30k, but Yea...location plays alot...if you work up north and out west your salaries are gonna be alot nicer verses the south cause the cost of living is alot less....but I need to make connections and thats the end of the story, lol.
I met a woman fresh out of law school in the field of law I want to go into making $87,000 a year. That's not bad at all considering she hadn't represented one client yet.
