<p>That’s right. A degree in education falls under my rule of a “marketable skill” right out of college (with a teaching certification).</p>
<p>In our public high school here in the suburbs of Philly, 25% of the teachers make over 100K. The starting salary for a new teacher is something like 45K. That can pay the rent and the car payment for them. I explain to my kids about career progression. I use the example of high school teachers. One health and phys-ed teacher they had is now a asst. principal at another local high school. In time, that teacher will be a principal somewhere and probably be making 125-150K. Then, after that, they might be a school district superintendent somewhere and make over 200K, like our local superintendant does. If you teach at the right places in the USA, big bucks can be had.</p>
