Hi!

TOTAL CRAP!

I started as a HS teacher in 2000. Starting pay was $24K. I basically had a master's, and I still only got $28K.

Worse the call an "Education Administrator" an entry level position making $80K.

That's like saying an FO job at UPS is "Entry Level". You get your Comm/MEL, and the next day you're at UPS. RIGHT!

To be an administrator, you must first get a four year teaching degree (which IS PFT, by the way), and then teach for several years, as a minimum. Then, you go back to school, and get your Master's (and the entrance requirements are often VERY tough, including a number of years of teaching, and then you PFT AGAIN). Once you've gotten your Masters in Administration, you get a real entry level Asst VP job, or something like that, which doesn't pay anywhere near $80K.

Based on what I know about Education, the whole article is crap. It was probably written by an intern who had no clue, or someone who was paid off by somebody due to make money as a result of the article.
