The article is completely US-centric, but the subject isn't. Teacher's pay in France is quite low, from primary school to university. I'm an associate professor of compsci in France and, after 4 years, I make less than 2200€/month (it starts under 2000€ at the beginning). I should get to 3000€ 15 years from now. A typical mid- and high-school teacher is paid less than that and can only hope to get to 3000€ by the very end of their career. Most primary school teachers are paid just above the minimum legal salary which is a bit under 1200€.
- barry-cotter 7y agoWhy do you do it? You could work at Google for a year and take a year off to do research and repeat indefinitely and still come off a lot better than you do now. There are contractors in London with no degree whatsoever who work six months a year and spend the rest in Thailand who make more than that, never mind Google.
