How much do you make/month? (in US $)

[seventy6er]

Hi,

how much do you guys make a month?

[Haiw]

You forgot to add negative amounts of money to the poll...

[Hullebullen]

1000-2000...giving old men oral pleasure doesn't pay as much as it used to... p-)

[Aerosoul]

I read an article today saying that CEO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will be making 760 bucks an hour.

I whipped out my calculator and multiplied that by 8 hrs/day.

Then...multiplied by 5 for one week.
Came out to $30,400. And that's only per week.

That's more than 1.5M/ year....

[scm77]

I'm in the first category. I don't make much but it gets me what I need.

[Zoomie]

You forgot to add negative amounts of money to the poll...
Unfortunatly that's true for me too. There should have been an option saying "Money??? What money??"

[Jack Mehoff]

Double the amount of what I earn now if I agree to swallow.

Anyway, I make enough to support myself and maybe some extra cash for occasional prostitute along with some other semi-expensive hobbies. I'm not sure if I can support a family with my income alone though.

You should work up in MN, teachers' salary is about 50-80k a year, depends on how long you've been teaching. (I think) - But I heard this from one of my professors, and this wasn't the salary of a professor, but a high school teacher.

These are state averages which means it includes all salaries....

Teachers who have been teaching a long time, and have MA degrees or higher make more money of course. The average salary in Iowa is around 38 grand, but starting teachers in my district make less than 24 grand a year. Averages can be deceiving, but MN teachers don't make between 50 and 80 or their average would be over 44 grand. Just sayin' Trust me when I say that teachers are sorely underpaid. I'm not complaining (too much), because I love what I do. I left a job where I made 60 grand to make less than half, but I wouldn't go back for anything.

Teachers: low pay, low morale, high turnover

By Christy Oglesby
CNN

(CNN) -- It's a bad combination: the worst school, the worst students and the newest teacher. That frequent mix is helping stoke a teacher shortage that's driven some school districts to cancel classes and invent incentives to lure instructors.

A recent survey in Education Week, a magazine that covers professional education issues from preschool to high school, revealed that 20 percent of new teachers leave the classroom after three years, and 50 percent quit after five.

"First-year teachers get placed in the most-difficult classrooms and most-difficult schools, and we have to stop doing that to them," said Gayla Hudson, a former teacher and director of teacher quality for the National Education Association, the country's oldest education organization. "I was one of those (new) teachers who was placed in the classroom that other teachers feared."

While inadequate mentoring, weak retention practices and retirement siphon teachers through school exits, increased responsibilities and low salaries stop new ones at the entrance. It's a problem that's left the teaching pool with more holes than a rusted bucket and in need of an estimated 2 million teachers by 2011.

More work, less money
The shortage also can be traced to changes at the heart of the profession, said Jamie Horwitz, director of the American Federation of Teachers.

In addition to increased curriculum demands, inclusion -- mainstreaming children with special education needs -- and the presence of medically fragile children in the classroom have changed the role of a teacher, said Horwitz said.

"You can't just teach English or teach math anymore," Horwitz said. "You have to be able to teach math and special ed and be a nurse and deal with children who have emotional problems who act out in class."

And while teachers' responsibilities are multiplying, their salaries are not. The average salary increase for teachers in 2000 was the lowest in four decades, according to an AFT survey. Last year, the average national teacher salary was $41,820 -- 3.2 percent more than it was in 1999. It failed to keep pace with the rate of inflation of 3.4 percent.

The average salary for a first-year teacher in 1999-2000 was $27,989 and reflected a 4.2 percent increase over the previous year. New teacher salaries increased by 4.4 percent during the 1998-1999 school year.

School districts throughout the country have crafted a variety of incentives to attract potential teachers, including reduced rent in school-owned buildings, restaurant discounts and gym memberships.

But dollars, not discounts, will entice teachers, experts said.

"Teaching is a wonderful field," the NEA's Hudson said. "But it's difficult when you cannot afford to make a living. Until you start paying teachers at the level that other professions receive, recruiting will be a problem."

Wanted: everybody
Even more money won't solve the other shortages that school districts face. School principals and district superintendents also are in high demand and low supply.

The demands of all-purpose schools force administrators to juggle burgeoning curricula, low test scores and state assessment tests, said Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, a coalition of 54 of the largest school districts in the United States.

When parents, school boards and politicians find fault with schools or district performance, administrators generally shoulder the blame. They often are drafted to reform troubled schools or school districts, but may find themselves looking for work before their improvements bear fruit. The average tenure for a superintendent is six and one-half years, and just two and one-half years in urban districts, according to the American Association of School Administrators.

Even though a superintendent's salary could exceed $200,000, those posts remain hard to fill.

"Superintendents and the principals are the ones who are most likely to lose their jobs," said Casserly. "There's nobody in this business making a large enough salary to compensate them for all they have to go through."
