-

Whether you picture hard-working teachers buying school supplies for their students or genius professors shaping future leaders, it’s fair to say education encompasse­s a wide variety of jobs. So much so that there’s room to specialize and pursue your passion.

Historical­ly, teachers’ pay is a rather contentiou­s topic. The average teacher salary is about $2,000 less than a decade ago after adjusting for inflation.
