Few enter for money, but many leave because of it.
- germinalphrase 4y agoI have been teaching high school English for about ten years. My total comp (including pension matching, cost of employer healthcare contributions, etc) is about 52k. Money isn’t the reason I will be transitioning into a different career after this school year, but I have friends and contacts floating opportunities that would offer me an immediate 50-80 percent bump. My wife and I have been saving aggressively to allow for a patient, intentional transition. I don’t expect my next career to feed my values to the same extent, but I am excited to open a new door. Edit: if you work in Product and would be willing to do a brief informational interview, please reach out. My email is in profile.
