As a brand new teacher, who graduated with an Honours BA, how much money can you expect to start off making?

That's about $40,000 I believe. I don't really know (only approximately) because I didn't look much at pay when choosing my career (just wanted to know I'd have enough to live). I deemed it too materialistic to base my life on money.

That is on a paid salary right? So when it is during the summer, when you aren't teaching you still get paid?

I am not sure you do but I believe you would make enough to last you for two months I mean 40,000 to start is a lot when people in some college programs only make half that

Depends what level you're teaching at.
Also, if you get your masters you'll make more.

I know that you don't make a lot of money working as a teacher but it is still what I want to do. Many people have told me that I am insane for wanting to deal with crazy children for a small amount of money but its what I want to do and I have learned that you can't let money define your life, it's just there to help you along the way.

I think the average salary (for Ontario, at least) is around 40,000 dollars anyway, so it's not incredibly crazy.

Someone mentioned getting your masters to improve your salary. Approximately how much more would that add to your annual salary? Also, how much more do high school teachers make than grade school teachers?

I think being a teacher is great, you get to influence minds of so many youngsters and you have ur own life to live, go to school, come home and be with ur family. The pay is around $40 000 as most people have mentioned and the higher up u go it increases by about 5000 also the more teaching experience you have the higher it is and also depends on who you teach, for elementary it would be less for middle school and highschool more and for univerisities even more but the education also follows the same pattern the higher you go the more you need to do.

Yeah, cuz'i'm that retarded to use an MBA to teach when i can try out for better opportunities ?

Are you nut ? MBA is for Business, let alone teaching or you're a plain idiot.
If you have balls or dignity you should obviously do what 99% of MBA grads do, throw an app for Investment Banking or Management Consulting, and see your work pay off.

Sure, under achieving people will pull me out the "do what you love" argument, until they can't pay their bills or afford to retire anymore.

As someone working on her last year of her Bachelor of Education degree I feel the need to warn that there are very few jobs avaliable in teaching just about anywhere in Canada right now. I've been to a job fair held at our university and have done lots of hunting and the only real jobs for new teachers are in northern and/or very rural areas of Canada. If you're looking to stay in a major city even substitute work is difficult to come by. One of my supervising teachers for my practicum this year has been "teaching" for 7 years and has yet to get a "permanent" contract. If it's something you are interested in because you have a love of the profession then by all means go fight it out but the money is average and the jobs are extremely few right now.

http://resource.educatio...nada.com/salaries.html/ This link will give you general info on salaries in various provinces. 4 yrs of education refers to just having an undergrad degree (which as far as I know isn't enough to be certified anywhere in Canada) and 6 yrs refers to having also completed a 2 yr education degree.
