You are listing a hot job in 2014 for Pre School Teachers at $143,000. Pre School teachers in Texas mostly make $12,000 to 15,000 yearly. How do you figures this job will grow in the next 8 years to six figures?

With the demand of Preschool Teachers
in the near future,we will have to develop a forum to get the honorable pay that we deserve. Under the ...No Child Left Behind Law, one would think that there would be mention of increasing pay. It will be difficult to demand so much and get so little pay from such an honorable profession.

It is nice to know that Preschool Teachers are "hot jobs" but it would be even nicer if they got paid as well or similar to elementary school teachers with benefits receive!

Yes, the opportunity for jobs will increase because turnover rates for preschool teachers is so high. We need to be able to keep the qualified and dedicated teachers that we already have. We need to be able to pay them what they deserve and be able to offer them competative benefits--which they deserve!!
