Average salary for paraprofessional

Answer 1

Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree. Still, if you have a specific occupational title, you can then retrieve the estimated mean annual wage particular to that occupation through the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Answer 2

You work like a dog, get looked down at by faculty, get abused by students who have more rights than you do, put up with parents who think their kids are always right and cannot speak to you without cussing every other word, and you get your contracts sold and lose all your health insurance and make less than $10,000 a year.
