answer:Where I live, the kindergarten teacher makes 127k. They’re public employees, so their salaries are public, too. I would say it’s a good move. I would suggest your teacher get a double major, one being in Special Ed, which will open more doors for her. In general, teachers get good benefits, good time off, good work hours. Yes, they’re subject to layoffs like everyone else, but at least they are versatile. It seems like school budgets here in NY rarely get voted down. They also get pensions, which is gold.
