Hello
I have just applied to the ARC program to become a Spanish
Teacher, I am getting a bit nervous seem I can't seem to
get info on what to expect in regard to salary. I live in
New London county but would communte to another county if
need be. I have been in the insurance business for 15
years, serving as a translator/interpreter of insurance
contracts with a decent salary . I recently decided to go
into teaching, am I making a mistake? Is it possible to
earn 50k as a Spainish teacher? I'd like to teach high
school.
Thank you

Actually, the subject you teach could affect your salary if

bumped up on the salary scale for being certified to teach in
a shortage area. Spanish certainly qualifies.
