I am currently 22m making 50k a year as an assistant teacher while also working a second job making 18k a year. I’m also pursing a masters in teaching which is highly subsidized by my school ($4500 a year) so will be ($9000 ) by time I graduate. I have already paid for the first year in cash. However, I have been informed by senior teachers that our district doesn’t like paying out more than 90k. Making it extremely difficult to climb up the pay scale. I am guaranteed 61-65k next school year and 72-75k the following year. I live in NYC for context so these salaries are on par for the area. Although, I like what I do I’m afraid for my financial future as I turned down corporate jobs making 62-65k starting out because teachers only work 200 days a year but a lot of the times I take work home with me. I’m debating switching to corporate America where I know I can make upwards of 65k+ and upward mobility in salary is more realistic. I want to hear some thoughts and see if I should wait to finish my masters to make the switch or do it sooner rather than later.
