<p>What is sallie mae in this circumstance?</p>

<p>did I miss somewhere in the thread where you mentioned D’s ambition to teach was in NYC?
Niece is a NYC Teaching Fellow.Started straight out of college. Special Ed. Working in a decent Queens elementary school. Enrolled concurrently in a Masters program, fully paid for.
I believe Sciences are included in the needed specialty areas.</p>

<p>Cathymee, yes she does plan to teach in NYC since this is where we live, but wouldn’t turn her snout up at Long Island or New Jersey, either, if the circumstances were right.</p>

<p>Sallie Mae is one of the many student loan programs availble</p>

<p>Yeah, I picked a low hypothetical salary on purpose, just in case…as I tell my clients, may all your surprises be pleasant.</p>

<p>With a salary of $3,900/mo., that $175 starts looking like a very small payment for value received.</p>

<p>Right now the base salary for teachers coming straight out of college is $44,849. By the time your daughter gets ready to teach they will most likely have a new contract and the starting salary will be higher.</p>
