Although money isn’t everything (a sense of purpose and career growth are also vital), you want your educators to feel stable about putting food on the table. If you want your educators to be patient, empathetic, and go the extra mile, you can’t have them worried about cash.

However, let’s not forget that a teacher’s salary can vary a huge amount depending on where they’re based and what school they get a position in. How much experience you have is also going to affect your starting salary.
For example, some of the highest-paying cities in the US include New York City (an average of $68,364 per year), Los Angeles ($66,820), and Chicago ($56,164).
Though, that might be a mixed blessing. Sure, you may be earning more. But your cost of living is likely much higher in these cities, too. How much you end up saving will vary depending on your lifestyle, rent, etc. Eductors need a support system in place that goes beyond finances.

“They are patient, kind, and understanding of all students. Bonus points if they are easily reliable (via email or phone) and have a perfect balance between discipline while still maintaining leniency.”
According to the author of the thread, students who feel like they’ve fallen behind their classmates in their studies shouldn’t be afraid of reaching out for help. It’s one of the best things they can do to get back ahead. Being proactive is a massive plus here.

Meanwhile, we were curious about what had inspired u/12345burrito to start the online discussion in the first place. According to them, it was partly influenced by their personal experience as a student struggling with their classes and feeling like their professors were “secretly annoyed” with them.

“Something worth noting, though, is the fact that I posted that question when I was still going to a community college nearby. I will admit there were a few classes I had to take that were pretty difficult for me – math of any kind being the main culprit. I am sure there were times when I just couldn’t get an answer right no matter what, and the professors were probably thinking, ‘How is it this difficult for him to answer?’” u/12345burrito shared with us.
