However if those kind of jobs can easily lead to a bright future then perhaps the investigative fee is appropriate.
The issue is teaching doesn't pay that well. In Arizona average teacher pay is about 35k a year which is the typical average for entry-level positions right out of college for the entire graduating class. Teachers gain experience in Arizona and then move out because we don't offer competitive wages because of the problems with slashing the school budget (an issue that is front and center in the gubernatorial race.)

I wonder how much of this paranoia is boosted by the digital age? How much easier it is to dig into someone's past. How much input and influence insurance industries have in corporate and governments? Are we in-fact so much better enlightened and freer now than 20 years ago with all this progress?

Hmmm... in this area, teachers make $75K/year. I'm not sure if that's the average of all teachers... but it seems like it's a good amount. I know it's very hard for teachers to get hired in my area, even subs. People I used to be friends with had to go outside of this area to get a teaching or subbing job. It's interesting.

That number is 20+ years and a Master's most likely.

First year in Upper Merion is $42K, which is in the ball park for the area for first year. The top out is around $100K, which is higher than many.

It's always been difficult to get hired as a teacher in PA unless you're politically connected. The state produces more teachers than it can use.

I sent out 251 applications back in 1983. I had exactly one interview. Ended up moving to MD.

That probably makes sense to why some people I graduated high school with ended up moving to Maryland to become teachers! Others have moved down South. I sort of figured the teaching field was over saturated here; I'm not a fan of children and with the teaching field here, that was enough to make me not want to do it. Now, if I could do adult education, I wouldn't mind that. I'm just not sure what I'd need for adult education. My goal is to eventually move to the Midwest. I'm just looking for anything around here for extra cash and experience. I'm in a library now and have been there for 8 years. I found two other library jobs I'm going to try.
