The $62K is the median salary in Cal, I'm not sure about their requirements for Masters, etc. There are some teachers in Cal making over a $100K but that is only in their richest few districts. I would assume they have either a Master's Degree plus 45 hours.
One of our problems in education is getting enough excellent teachers to have one in every classroom. Education does not attract enough of the best and the brightest because, despite what the cons think, the overall compensation cannot compete with what bright motivated people can make in the private sector. Plus dealing with a classroom full of children, dealing with all the paperwork, trying to work with all types of parents and then the general lack of respect from the public, including the "you work for me" bullshit, is not an easy on a daily basis. Just as your uncle said (in your previous post).
I love to hear about people like your friend who sounds very capable and went into teaching for the right reasons.

To take ez's post a little further, can someone tell me why when the right is always bitching about entitlement programs, they focus on the so-called "welfare queen" but rarely, if ever, do I see a rant on farm subsidies or corporate welfare. I'd bet dollars to donuts more money is wasted and abused by big businesses and agri-conglomerates than single mothers. And please, before you say that pisses you off too, show me all your posts on these boards where you've made that known in the past.
