Preschool Teacher
People in your 30s, how much do you earn?? I'm a 35-year-old preschool teacher with 12 years of experience, making only 4.8k. Have recent pay hikes closed the gap with other fields? The average salary here is around 5k. Some experienced teachers earn just 3.5-4k. Four years ago, I made 2.8k, then 3.7k, and then 4k by changing jobs. Is our field improving enough? Teacher pay went from 1k (20 years ago) to 2-4k now. What do you think?

Personally, i still feel like we're still fat behind where we should be. Especially for someone with great experience. I wonder if it’s enough to truly close the gap with other fields. 4.8k is decent, but for 12 years of experience, it’s not as competitive as it should be

If things continue this way, you might need to think about transitioning to a different field where your skills could be more financially rewarded. It’s unfortunate, but you need to take care of yourself.

It’s great to see your salary has increased over the years, though I agree it’s not enough considering your experience.

I'm in my early 30s working in marketing, and I make around 6k. It's definitely tough seeing how teacher salaries haven't kept pace with other fields, despite the crucial role you all play. It does sound like there have been some improvements in your field, though slower than ideal. Maybe consider additional certifications or specializations? They can sometimes bump up the pay

It’s frustrating to hear that teacher pay isn’t improving as quickly as it should. It does seem like there's some progress, but not nearly enough. You might want to look into different types of schools. Sometimes private or specialized institutions pay more.
