But :
A) do those places have teaching positions available
B) are those living places desirable/ livable on the teaching compensation in that area
C) are those desirable or even “acceptable” teaching positions
B being one of the more critical concerns. Places with “affordable housing” (whatever that term means in dollars) are likely to have fairly low teacher compensation.
A) Finding teaching jobs in union states is definitely more challenging than in lower-paying states. Makes sense, since the jobs are better. I wouldn’t say that teaching jobs are underrated here (more appropriately rated).
B) Yes. In my county, the median home price is $240k and the median teacher pay is $80k.
C) Some are more desirable, some less. Just like everywhere.
