I am mid career, still considering whether to switch to teaching since it would be for the long term. I like children but teaching full time could be a different story. Prefer to teach primary school. What are the chllenges and the working hours? And do you know the estimated starting pay for mid career? I |

5k = 4k after cpf. deduct one or two k minimum for living expenses. you are left with one or two k. if you rent or have your own home, deduct that, and budget some money for a kid if you have one, you are left with zero. :rolleyes: |

:rolleyes: Not saying teachers are overpaid, just that they are quite well remunerated as compared to the past, and in general. |

starting salary for mid career teachers differ, depending on many factors such as your current salary, academic qualifications, related job experience etc. my mid career colleagues suffered a paycut upon joining the teaching profession, but they're on 'accelerated track' to reach their last drawn pay. contrary to popular beliefs, one's salary isnt dependent on the level he's teaching, but rather his academic qualifications. along the way, his performance determines his increment. it gets harder to 'perform well' after a few promotions because expectations get higher. so i'm mentally prepared if my pay reaches a plateau eventually. |
Overseas Degree
I've heard from many that local uni grads (NUS/NTU/SMU) are usually favoured when applying for teaching jobs.
However, I just graduated from Monash University in Melbourne this year under Bachelor of Arts (Human Geography) and my degree was only 2 years since I got credit exemptions from poly. I'm hence wondering, what are my chances of becoming a teacher under MOE? I've always been keen on teaching geography secondary school |
