]]> Today I was browing some jobs at local public schools. I did this because there was an article on the local news about the need for the teachers aide. I think some places may call it the para-educator, which was stated as hard to fill positions. one posting in particular prompted me to look more into the “certification” the desired candidate should have.
#1 – this position pays $15.00 per hour.
#2. The desired certificate: https://educate.iowa.gov/educator-licensure/licenses-authorizations/paraeducator-certification

According to DMACC, the average salary is $30,000. That is a bit off rom the job posted below, as 180 days @7 hours per day + 1260 hours worked *15/hour + $18,900. The program cost is about $1600.00. What I find really humurous is that there are 2 options to renew your Paraeducator Cert every 5 years. Continuing education…. OR…. Master Degree for a job with staring pay of $15.00/hour.

This is not a livable wage for a single person to live on their own.
