Considering teaching JROTC but good schools are few and far between. I don't need the job bad enough to take on a terrible school.


A local paper published the pay of school board employees, and the high school ROTC guy was in top 10 in the whole parish. Over $100k. I hear they get money from the board and the military. Not sure, but it appears to pay pretty good for a teaching type gig.

I know a friend of a guy who teaches ROTC in the Dallas area. He has military retirement plus that ROTC salary, and they have a helluva nice house.

So it may be worth putting up with a terrible school. Might have to start there and transfer up to better schools as you get seniority.

That's including his military retirement. Don't get me wrong it's still very good for a HS teacher. I've been looking at that option for several years and following the vacancies. They calculate pay to match your active duty pay minus incentives, special duty pay etc... But it's only for 10 months per year. Retirement+teacher salary+military paid offset=active duty base pay
