$64k is a great salary in my area of PA. I’m not familiar with GA but I imagine it’s the same. To put this into comparison, the average household income in GA is $75k and most households are two earners, so yeah, seems pretty good.
I mean it’s definitely nice but after pensions and taxes and everything else it’s probably like an extra $400 a month. Not exactly world shattering but definitely nice.
$64K isn’t really much these days.
And that’s just average. Chances are teachers are making anywhere between 40-100K in GA with the majority probably below 64
I remember when teachers were complaining about making 24k a year in the last decade. (I’m just saying, not being contrarian)
Agreed, but I’d love to be making that as a professor here in NJ…
Have you considered getting tenure then making an absurd podcast?

Now do it with average households with college degrees, since that’s a more reasonable comparison.
Just because something is average doesn’t mean it’s good.
If the average grade of a class is fifty… that doesn’t mean it’s a good grade. It just means a majority of the class is failing.
That’s… not how averages work.
Which is why $9,500 matters so much

My first thought was: that’s it? Really that little?
Republicans did cut the bill’s funding in half, in addition to allocating much of it to other causes.
President Biden deserves way more credit for getting what he’s done this term despite the GOP’s best efforts to hamstring it in every possible way.
Biden in the US and Trudeau in Canada both deserve a lot more credit than they get, but the mood in western nations is pretty sour.
That’s the reality of public school teacher pay all over the country.
The national average is under $70k
It is in Georgia.
It’s double what I make.
I would probably slap your dad around for $64k
