If I apply for a special ed position and I have a masters degree in counseling, will my pay be based on the Bachelors in spec ed or the highest degree obtained? In other words does the higest degree have to be related to the position for it to be considered when figuring salary? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kenya, the pay is dependent on the school and the position. You can view the salary on the right side of the job postings under job details. Typically, a salary range is provided -- depending on the number of years of experience, your compensation will be somewhere in that range. For example, if you have 3 years of teaching experience for a job requiring 3 years of experience, you will probably be on the lower end of the range, but if you have 6 years when they're asking for 3, you will be on the higher end.
