Teaching is a tough way to pay for a home in a pricey area, however, marketing and nonprofit positions pay way less. I spoke to a marketing exec. over winter break, and they start their recent graduates at $32,000. The pay for starting teachers the is $42,000. I know friends who work in nonprofit positions, even at the executive level, who make mid-$40s and don't have the benefit package available to them.
One can make way more than an educator, but they have to have the right good ole boy system to make that happen. Sadly, I don't see many colleagues rubbing such elbows.
