What will you be
paid
as a teacher? Look at the salary
schedules
at the DPI web site. Remember: This is the state minimum. Many school districts pay more. And most agriculture teachers are on 12 month contract so you will need to multiply the monthy salary listed by 12 instead of 10. |
||
| |
In addition to
looking
at salary, one should also consider benefits associated with the job.
North Carolina has a good benefits package. |
||
| |
Will there be a job available after you graduate? If you are mobile, you should not have a problem finding a teaching position. The AEE department maintains a listing of people looking for positions and open teaching positions. When your time comes, you will be listed here. | ||
| |
If you want to
get the
real scoop on teacher
supply and demand in agriculture you could look at the research
conducted at
Virginia Tech. They conduct a study periodically to document the supply
and
demand situation. For the record, there is a teacher shortage in agriculture. |
