  • You get paid less than $8.4k a year as a teacher? Wow, people really do get what they pay for.
    After Obama gets through with me - yes. The really sad part- this is a jump up from what I was making in Canada for years. I feel like a wealthy person.

    • Ben is part of the 53% who pay income tax, but somehow only ends up with $8.4k after tax... right...

        That's what the tax law says.

              That's your decision.

              • Ben, your lies are so ridiculous it's funny. Even if you only get paid 20k/yr your take home is much more than that.

                      The problem with truth is that people are more apt to believe lies.

                        You wouldn't get 48k a year teaching in Texas, and certainly not for a parochial school.

                            Teachers get paid extra if they work summers. Also, as I said, that's your decision to work at a parochial school.

                            At any rate, a single parent with two kids who gets paid minimum wage makes more than you after taxes.

                              Never said it wasn't or that I was unhappy with my compensation. Making that much money a year while doing a job I love, in a state that I love more than anything? I waited 3 years to get this opportunity.

                              Yep, I'm working to climb up that ladder though. Gotta put the time in - they vastly prefer TX experience.

                              • Average salaries for Texas teachers are also virtually unchanged. Texas teachers earn $48,666 on average, compared to prior year’s $48,639, as reported in the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) standard salary reports.
                                No, you won't get 48k teaching in Texas. No siree!
