- pc86 5y agoYes even in US public schools, and even for relatively new hires, the benefits can be pretty great. Time off, retirement, etc. And it's still possible to get into administration and make what an entry-level SWE makes. Hell, when I was in HS in the very early 00's there was a big scandal in my area because we found out the district superintendent was making $200k/yr. For context, most of my friends' parents worked blue collar and manual labor jobs. Teachers averaged $44k/yr or so back then.
