Hopefully this isn't breaking rules/derailing, but this thread makes me so happy that I am changing careers from teaching to engineering. With teaching I had over 5 years experience, graduate hours, and multiple certifications. I was literally stuck at 30K per year though. For five long years! I couldn't demand more because of the statewide public salary scale, and on the other side, principals had literally no authority to offer me more. I had a combination of certifications that got me hired on the spot for 2 of my last 3 positions. But none of that could get me a higher salary. I have a feeling that if schools were private entities with private funding, I would be making my dream number by now and wouldn't have left teaching. Thanks for nothing, state of North Carolina.  I can't wait to get through school a second time and actually be able to have a salary discussion with private sector employers, even though for my first job I don't anticipate being able to negotiate very much. But any number > 30K is going to make me drool.
