Best Answer:
This is directly quoted from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: "Median annual earnings of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers ranged from $41,400 to $45,920 in May 2004; the lowest 10 percent earned $26,730 to $31,180; the top 10 percent earned $66,240 to $71,370. Median earnings for preschool teachers were $20,980. According to the American Federation of Teachers, beginning teachers with a bachelor’s degree earned an average of $31,704 in the 2003–04 school year. The estimated average salary of all public elementary and secondary school teachers in the 2003–04 school year was $46,597. Private school teachers generally earn less than public school teachers, but may be given other benefits, such as free or subsidized housing."

most school districts are under maned and under funded so hiering someone with out a masters helps out the buget. as for the money 15k to 25k and after you get tenure with an anual raise as much as 50k.but you should keep trying for a masters degree.

A:
It depends on your district. My district starts a new teacher at $34,000. I would stray away from Private schools. I taught at an all male detention center for a measely $24,900. That was working with the worst kids of Philadelphia, PA. But I will say that it does build your resume. I would suggest doing some research into local districts and go from there.
