Stickers Teacher
Is an elementary school teacher a good job?
I love kids and I think I would have alot of fun being an elementary school teacher. I love things like sticker charts and prize boxes and all that stuff. It’s also nice that you have summer and holidays off, but when I tell people I want to be a teacher they’re all like NO teachers get payed nothing! and they can never find a job! Is this true? Do elementary school teachers have bad salaries and is it impossible to find a job?
Thanks in advance!! 
People who go in to teaching know that they’re not going to make a ton of money. There are other jobs you could get with a college degree that would pay more. Where I live, first year teachers make between 28,000 and 32,000 a year. I don’t think it’s that bad, but some people would not be happy making that salary. Most school districts have a “salary schedule” system – this means that you are guaranteed a raise every year that you work (usually around 1,000). There are also different “steps,” so if you take classes and work towards your masters, that will bump you up and you will earn more per year.
It is hard to find a job, especially for elementary teachers. There are several things you can do to make it easier: get certified in early childhood (this will allow you to teach at the preschool level), get certified in middle school (these teachers are more specialized – english/math/science/etc – and are in higher demand), get certified in special education, be willing to move to a different area or even a different state, be willing to work in a city school or a charter school (these schools always need more teachers, but can be more challenging to work in), build connections within school districts by subbing or becoming a teacher’s assistant while you are still in college.
If you think this is what you want to do, I suggest you go to your local elementary school and ask if they need any volunteers or tutors. This way you will get to spend some time in the classroom working with kids and see if you like it. If you really want to be a teacher, don’t let anyone change your mind! You can do it!
