Work public school.
Leave work at 3.30 on the dot or earlier
Tutor rich kids from private schools for $60-100/hr.
Easy tutoring as word of mouth means you see kids who are all in the same class = same homework questions for each kid.

Be made delicious home made dinners and dessert by stay at home mums trying to compete with other moms for who is the favorite.

Invest all into property and other investments.

No man should ever take a job working with minors, as there will be always be a target on your back. People will always be suspicious of your motives. Even at the higher grades you are dealing with girls who know how easy it is for them to blackmail you, they can and do ruin male teacher's lives. Most teachers have rock-solid job security thanks to the unions, even the most incompetent teachers will simply get shuffled off the art department rather than fired, but as a male teacher all it takes is one wrong glance at 16 year old Sally Sue with the d-cups and your career is over, you wont be able to get a job tutoring for minimum wage.

My mother is a highschool teacher and is currently trying to break into administration. If she can she will go from making $40k a year to $60k, and pay will increase every year after. She could potentially end up in six figures depending on the jobs she goes after.

Anyway, I think teaching is probably attractive to recent grads. It's easy to get into and the pay is good for someone fresh out of college with few expenses. Also there's that paid time off.

From what my mother has told me though, it's very difficult to find a school district that will give a a shit about its teachers. Bigger school districts pay more, but they also use stupid policies and won't back up teachers on issues of discipline.

Smaller school districts on the other hand, while paying less, seem to be more enjoyable to work at. They usually have fewer discipline issues and don't enforce stupid policies like not being allowed to fail students.

Murrican? 40k is not a lot of money, here in my province teachers start off at more than that, and it is a very hard profession to break into because of the union. They protect old teachers who are past their prime, new grads usually spend a few years trying to pick up substitute jobs while working part-time at coffee shops or whatever. The only way to get a full-time teaching job right out of school is if they are willing to teach in places where more experienced teachers aren't willing to go, like isolated, mostly native, communities where their students hate their guts because their white. Once they get in with the union they are set.

Worked as a teacher for a few years, never had complains or got treated as a pedo.

Some of the older students are hot but when I'm teaching I'm in "teacher mode" and don't even think about it and would never risk my career/life doing anything inappropriate.

I don't understand why anyone with no experience would get a masters degree in a professional (non-academia) area. It makes sense to get an masters of education if you have 10 years experience and want to go into administration, but if you're just starting out that masters degree wont mean fuck all to the union gatekeepers.

Any job you got for the state is good in Europe.
If you have any degree and work he same job as private sector, you get 20-50% bigger paycheck and also you work less, more off time etc.

I hope one day we cut all welfare etc. so only the fittest will survive.

Not necessarily. Thebulk of the teachers (90%) could be below the average, because you could have the other 10% making sucha large amount that they pull the (mean) average up. In this case you would want to look more at the median wage number as being indicative of the 'average', because wage distributions for many things actually are right skewed by high wage earners within data sets.

Mum gets paid 2000€/month and it's near the end of her career as a high school teacher.
Teacher is NOT a high paying job in France.

The only benefit of being a teacher is the cultural advantage. By that I mean teacher's children do as well in school as children of engineers, doctors and other wealthy jobs.
So if you're into trans-generational social climbing and you don't feel like you can make it, I guess you can become a teacher and hope your kids make it.

Elementary school maybe, and depending what grade you teach in high school, you may have to work those 2 or 3 extra hours on your own time. But I do agree teachers do bitch a lot(Canada) for what they do get compensated for, and really they knew what they were getting themselves into. Honestly though, where do they think the pay raises would come from, for people with masters degrees, they're not good at economics or budgeting for that matter

Aus, both parents are teachers. Primary school might be glorified babysitting (hell, looking at the "assessments" some education students actually submit...), but high school isn't.

After 20+ years of work, and taking on additional administrative roles, both make around 90-110k before tax. The amount of actual work required for that money is stupid though. You don't just clock off at 3:30 and that's it if you actually give a shit. You've got assessments/work to prepare/mark, and reports to write every semester. You end up doing more than the 6 hour school day.

Add that to often working with shitty kids (plus their equally shitty parents), and inadequate co-workers who only wanted to be teachers for the holidays, and you've really got to want to do job.

Currently a teacher. Done both Primary and High. The reason the students are shit is because they aren't actually tested. Dont matter if you fail you go onto the next year. I teach yr 12s who cant do basic times tables.

If you are organised / efficient you can finish your day at 3pm. I do no work at home because reports/assessments/marking is done in time I have at school. Primary is different though as you dont nearly enough time off class to do it.
