Seriously, I love teaching, and other than starting my own repair shop, I can't think of anything else I'd rather do.

military, unknown amount. wife gets it all

Depends a LOT on where you teach. In my district (Pittsburgh Public Schools) w/ a Master's you will top out at about $71,000 after 10 years. Before everyone get's all up in arms about how I'm sooooo overpaid, consider most teachers in this district have a nervous breakdown and quit w/in 3 years!

I have heard that down south, teaching jobs are more plentiful, but the pay is considerably lower. Just what I remember hearing people say. If you do go into teaching, good luck!

I work for myself. VFX Custom Graphics.
I do signs, lettering, banners, custom graphics for cars, boats, bikes ect, and shirts.
I also do some airbrush work, which slowly is picking up.

Pay- It alldepends. When i am working, its good, up to $100/hr. But most of the time i am not working....And what i make goes to the expences of running a business. So when all is said and done, i make next to nothing, but i am only in my 3rd year. I just hope business keeps picking up. I'm so happy to see winter gone. I maybe had 1 or 2 good jobs all winter, which didnt even cover the heat bill.

I own my own sign business. It seems to be picking up, but I've had 2 other "sign shops" open here in the last two years. I'm 3rd generation, so I'm not too worried about them. Just some yahoos that bought plotters on ebay and decided they knew how to lay out a sign.

As for pay, when it's all said and done, I doubt I'm taking home as much as I'm paying my worker-monkeys! Ahhh....the joys of owning your own business! bills bills bills bills taxes bills bills taxes taxes bills bills bills day off, repeat.
