Will I earn enough money as a teacher?

Beginning teachers usually earn in the lower 30s. Teachers are paid based on years of experience and education level. You can easily look up teacher salaries on any school district's website. You will be okay as a teacher, but not without a spouse that works. If you are thinking about student loans and take out big ones, you will be sorry for that. I am a teacher paid at master's level with 9 years and after taxes, etc I bring home $3200 a month. I do not have major debt or bills. However, that will give you an idea of the pay. Good Luck.

I'm an education major in college now, so I've been asked very similar questions.

Compared to other professions (being a lawyer or a doctor, for example) teachers don't make much money. On the other hand, we don't have to be in school for as long to get a degree, AND teachers have summers off (and usually a Christmas and spring break, too).

The area you end up teaching in will impact your salary. If you work in a poverty-sicken district, you won't be paid as much as you would in a district that had more money.

That being said, you should earn enough to live comfortably with your income. You won't be able to drive fancy sports cars every day, but you'll be paid enough to support a family.

Also, the more education you have, the higher your salary. To become a teacher, you have to get a bachelors degree from a college. If you teach for a few years, and then begin to get a master's degree, the district you're working in will have to pay you more.

If teaching is your passion, and it sounds like it is, go for it! Don't let other people stop you from doing what you love!

You don't earn based on the subject you teach. You earn based on your education and years of experience. Doesn't matter what subject you teach, you will make the same as any other teacher in your district with the same education and years experience.

You can live on a teacher's salary if you're good at budgeting. It's more difficult if you have kids and don't have a spouse with additional income helping out.

In most educational jurisdictions teachers earn the same salary which is independent of their teaching subjects. I live in Ontario and even the first year teachers who are generally on the lowest pay category earn enough to have a comfortable life ($50000+). That being said we have heard that in the US many school districts pay their teachers very little; in fact even less than your mom.

Depends where you are. Teachers generally make the same in any school district, but some school districts are poor and/or cheap when it comes to taxes. Where I am from a teacher makes a solid middle class wage, but I'm in a large Canadian city - I've heard numbers from smaller American towns where teachers aren't making much more than your mom.

Yes and No! It will depend on your skill level and your proposed living standards. The world has changed. 80 years ago, teachers were single women without a family. They lived a simple life. Today teachers are married and have huge economic concerns. Learn what, delayed gratification, means.

Yes you will earn enough money
