The Best- And Worst-Paying Education Jobs - Kathryn Dill, Forbes

So which jobs in the education field have the best and worst compensation? Law teacher, postsecondary, comes in first, with a mean annual salary of $122,280. The BLS defines this role as including both those who primarily teach courses in law and those who do a combination of teaching and legal research. The majority of those holding this job title are employed at colleges and universities, where they can expect to bring in a mean annual salary of $125,920. Postsecondary law teachers employed in Michigan–the top paying state for this job–can expect a wage of about $151,470; those in Iowa and Georgia command similar compensation. But while the top paying jobs in this field are largely concentrated at the college and university level–postsecondary physics teachers; postsecondary health specialties teachers; and postsecondary atmospheric, earth, marine, and space sciences teachers all make the grade–some professionals at the grade- and high school-level also command salaries that approach six figures. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kathryndill/2014/06/05/the-best-and-worst-paying-education-jobs/
