I taught Art. Made 46,500. I averaged about 55-60 hours per week.

Some numbers that made me pause (and find another career path):

-I had to submit 15 grades per student per 9 weeks.

-125 students = 1875 grades in the gradebook per 9 weeks

-If I spent 1 min on each assignment for each student (reviewing, grading, entering in gradebook)= 31.25 hours of grading each 9 weeks. This usually happened outside of school hours and could not be accomplished during my prep time alone.

Now I make $10,000+ more and work 40 hours a week. My soul is so much happier.

*Edit I now have more time to work on my own art which brings me so much happiness and extra cash!
