Hi everyone, Just wana touch base on the market rate for this industry. Understand its not everyone's cup of tea and most ppl join out of personal passion or through their faith/ beliefs. It's pay scale is peanut compared to the corporate world. I personally know of a young lady, fresh banking n finance graduate doing teaching for pre-sch/ pri kids as her 1st job in an FSC in sg.
I am currently comtemplating whether to join a SPED school. My brief background including 2 n 1/2 yrs of
NS- (starting basic pay)
2002 (sp. needs/ disability industry / local engineering diploma) -(1300)
2010 (counselling industry / local counselling degree) -(2900)
Find counselling job doesn't suit me/ or simply can't adjust n left, despite the qualification.. Thought of gng back to sp. needs, since i got the experience.. Wanting to join a sp needs sch, is my minimum starting expected pay of 3k too high or low based on my non-related field qualification as a graduate n relevant experiences ???? I wanted to join the sch side cause i heard they pay better compared to centre, workshop in the disability sector.
Appreciate any like-minded buddy, specialised in this industry whom, like me, has a heart to work in this industry, but still have bills and family to worry n survive...(forget about cars, I-phones, etc) to share their knowledge, experiences n priceless cents of opinion in this humble thread..
