Teacher's salaries

[kddani]

I do feel that NC's situation is horrible. A friend, who had a BS was recruited to go to NC and teach HS physics or chemistry. I don't know why he even went to begin with- no relocation help, I believe around $24K a year salary, not sure if he even had benefits. He stayed for 2 weeks then quit. He loved his students but no one can live like that. He had no teaching experience or education. I believe that if you teach down there for so long you can get a certificate or something? Not sure. It was something like that, and he had planned to come back up here to teach.
