Those numbers may reflect total compensation, not just salary. When HR managers are polled by government statistic offices, they are asked about total compensation: salary + value of insurance benefits + vacation + life insurance + pension/401k match, etc.

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.

[QUOTE=XJPILOT1;256169]Here are ten tried-and-true career groups that advertise beginning earnings at -- or well above -- the $50,000 level:

I have never met anyone in any career that said "Did you see the STARTING pay. Wow!"
I'll bet most folks look at career earning potential or MAX potential earnings. I did not notice Medical doctors on the list. Like pilots, start slow and underpaid. Not defending the anemic pay RJ crews are paid, but career potential is above average of many on the list.

Making money is not that difficult folks. Aren't we all doing this thing because it is different, challenging, fun? Not sitting in an office every day, and eventually going postal out of shear monotany? Gotta tell ya, money is cool and all, but going to work and enjoying it, that is Xanadu.
Here ends my Zen moment.
