A teacher starting out here gets like 22k a year, almost assuredly that teacher is also bilingual. Take the same job in Texas and they get around 50k. An engineer expects to get 30k a year here in the first few years and probably caps out at like 60k. An engineer in the states expects to start out at that range. Why does anyone live there in this situation? 25c per kWh electricity, expensive groceries, and starvation wages? I'm assuming people contribute to social security as normal?

Cao Ni Ma posted:Let me guess you are googling and trying to find the average using that. That doesnt work like that here. Public school teachers get paid more on average here than private school ones unless the private school has some prestige to it. I think this is the norm everywhere? I know that public teachers make more money than private school teachers in Texas for sure.

Cao Ni Ma posted:The 21k is for a public teacher. Thats literally what they get paid starting out. Imagine getting paid even less. Now if you google in English asking what the average teacher salary is in puerto rico you get like 50k. Thats not the reality of it. All that I was saying is that public school teachers make more than private. In central Texas you're looking at starting high 40s low 50s for public school teachers, and more like mid 30s for private school teachers.
