I found this link that shows PA teacher salaries (wow!! why is this public???)

My son's teacher made $42k in her first year in 2006-2007. That isn't an awful starting salary, and come on, they get 1.5-2 months off in the summer.

Thanks Darren - I love the link. I don't want to hear anyone complaining that teachers don't get paid enough. I'd love that salary with their vacation time!

You are full of shi*! You are telling me that you would love to make 42K per year if you got the same days off as a teacher. Good luck supporting your family keeping your Porsche on that salary. If you really felt this way, you would become a teacher. I know for a fact that the Phila. schoold district would hire you tomorrow because they are desparate for teachers. You don't even need to have a teaching degree.

According to Darren's link, my wife, who has a Masters degree, makes 55 k per year and she has been teaching for ten years. She comes home around 6 PM every night, thoroughly exhausted. She is grossly underpaid!
