Home TEFL forum Teaching in North & South America Can a PhD earn 50K in the US?
I welcome advice on a new position.
My current position is:
– teaching ESL 60%
– DSO 30% (designated school official)
– New student interviews and some program (IELTS/GMAT class) coordination 10%
I earn 42K annually and would like:
– stay in USA if possible
– see an upward tick in income
– reduce my DSO role (use my mind more)
– continue teaching – open to additional
role (quantitative analysis?)
– optional: reasonable cost of living or less snow
My profile:
– 9 years ESL
– Ph.D. in Education Policy
– 1 publication (Ed. Policy)
– Skilled in quantitative analsis (SAS / SPSS)
– Peer Reviewer for multiple journals
– 2 articles in progress (not published)
Are there schools where my PhD is highly
valued even if it is not linguistics etc?
Where should I apply? What skill should
I emphasize or develop?
Are my career goals realistic or a moonshot?
