If you're getting into teaching, I certainly hope the pay is not even a serious factor with the current payscales.

Better benefits. Also job security. Also less sucky environment.
Reed:
That depends. A teacher in a public school is pretty much guaranteed excellent health and dental (even in really low income areas). Some districts will also have pretty decent retirement packages. Job security varies greatly depending on state, and even by district. I believe that Arizona is one of the highest needs states in the country, so it wouldn't really matter for Jace.
Jace:
Oh they need teachers but state legislature keeps cutting education funding. And so people don't want to be teachers because it looks like it could be a shaky career in Arizona so people go into the medical field or graphic design instead.
Reed:
That seems to be happening all over the place.
Just one bit of advice, don't do teach for america....ever! Most of the teachers who do it wind up spending their first month crying in their classroom during their lunch break. It will make you hate yourself and teaching in general.
