Dailey Bailey: Half of Teachers Would Quit As Soon As Possible If They Got a Job That Paid Better

This is bad news for teachers, the American educational system, and children . . . but good news if your company is looking to hire some smart, talented people ASAP.

A new survey found 49% of teachers say they’d quit as soon as possible if they could find a job that pays better. For what it’s worth, the average teacher makes around $56,000-a-year.

And here are a few more sad results from this survey . . .

1. 62% of teachers say they spend way too much time getting students prepared for state tests.

2. 60% say they don’t have as much enthusiasm now as when they started.

3. 49% say the stress and disappointment of the job aren’t really worth it.

4. And 42% say they sometimes think about staying home because they’re too tired to go to school.
