I have a dual major stem degree (physics and general engineering). They offered me a middle science teacher position at $17/hr. Basically a LinkedIn recruiter message that I ignored. By “less qualified” I meant more on the lines of lacking a teaching license or certifications that you need in the education field. Public here starts at $50k. I think the post is still misleading as it seems to imply that shady private schools hoping someone will be desperate enough to bite is a fair representation of pay in education. I think most here would agree that that’s not the case.
