Is it worth it? I was reading and I think the starting salary in my county is really low, around $46,000. I’ll probably have a good amount of debt from undergrad/grad.



It’s worth mentioning that certain programs and states allow for a portion or all of student debt relief once the student has fulfilled that programs obligations, like agreeing to teach at a state public school for 5 years. Look into if your state offers and programs that provide this type of benefit as it may negate the fact of a low starting salary.
