With all the extra work you put in, plus all the extra cash you spend out of your own pocket to buy supplies and need equipment in order to complete a lesson because schools give teachers a whole twenty maybe twenty-five dollar budget for supplies. When you have a classroom filled with thirty plus kids, twenty bucks does not cut it. I know out of experience, as well as my wife. As for NYC, I want to see a job list for NYC. All jobs that are advertised in NY are crappy jobs, jobs that can barely provide you a monthly metro card. Search engines like Monster, Career builder are nothing but crap, they advertise the same jobs over and over. The few jobs that are worth applying for no longer enter the salary range and when you go for an interview, the salary tend to be in the low thirties. Including some job titles listed here. 35 k a year as being a teacher will suck balls, my friend.

Teachers barely make that much, the only way a teacher can make that much is having a masters and ton's of certifications. Listen folks, the bachelor degree is useless. Thanks to all these no name school pumping out under qualified 'graduates' flooding the work market, the Bachelor degrees is as useful as a high school diploma. Maybe it's different in other states, but in NYC, Masters is the king when it comes to get a job. Go back to school and get your masters. This list is useless in NYC.

Or the 4000 people that we go through a year who are too lazy to do the job...hmm I don't think that the problem is no jobs for the unemployed I think that the problem is that people are lazy oh and btw I'm only 22 and started when I was 19 so, You can have your college I avoided Computer Science because I knew that I would just be paying a loan for 10 years and got a real job that pays well.

She's 4 yrs. into it and makes 34000.00 per year. Medical benefits stink, but great sick, vacation and retirement. My daughter is an appraiser/assessor.

I know where I live 50K would be wonderful. In fact, according to the teacher pay scale, I should be making that, but due to budget cuts, I am no longer teaching full-time. To make matters worse, the jobs are going to those who have lesser degrees and experience to keep from having to pay those who have worked long and hard for what they have gotten. If you are in the South, 50K is a blessing and a gift from God. I think it depends on what part of the country you are in to some extent. I know where I live 50K would be wonderful.

I would kill for 50K!! I'm a somewhat recent college grad and current grad school student and 50K would be a dream. I understand it may be difficult to survive, but the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm lucky if I can make 20k a year. I graduated in 2009 and the term "entry level" no longer exist. I'm still struggling to find a respectable job that pays appropriately. I plan on becoming a teacher and would be thankful for 35K+. We have to learn to live on a smaller scale, cut back and most of all be thankful we (U.S. Citizens) have more than most in the world. (just an opinion) I think it’s possible to live off 50k.

POLITICIANS who vote on own salary and screw everyone else!!!!!! To bad everyone can't get into politics. Then we could just print more money and put everyone into more debt. FUN FUN FUN Not to mention the more money we print the less our yearly incomes are actually worth. What can I say I am a frustrated college grad with DEBT and a part time job!!! THANK YOU COLLEGE EDUCATION YOU GAVE ME A HOUSE PAYMENT EVERY MONTH BUT I HAVE NO HOUSE!!! But the blame goes to me I am the one who did not check it out when in high school. SOMEONE SHOW HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THE MATH!!! #1 on the list….. POLITICIANS who vote on own salary and screw everyone else!!!!!!

Maybe if you live in a small town 50k a year is good pay. Starting salaries at 50 would be better, and on teacher salaries..they MIGHT make 50k after 15 years..maybe.

All of these positions used to pay 50,000. Example: Village Inn Restaurants used to pay their Managers 50,000, and the General Managers more. (This was in 1987) Now the General Managers are lucky if they make 42,000.) Inflation has taken a toll on all businesses and they have to cut payroll because there is no where else to cut. Our economy is in trouble. I truly believe that these companies are saying they pay 50,000, but in reality, they are paying 20,000 less annually. All of these positions used to pay 50,000.
