In the Chicago area a dual teacher family has income approximating a Google engineer. I'm related to several examples.
I know folks think the profession took a vow of poverty, and while they're not compensated in this fashion everywhere, they have excellent PR on that front.
- awinder 4y agoTeachers can max out at a good salary, Chicago looks pretty close to where I live where 25-30 years in you can get up towards 90-100k. An L3 Google engineer looks like they start at 190k. That’s an extreme example but I’m just saying, dual-teacher families are probably not exceeding the median dual-professional household salary, so I don’t understand the callout.
