salaries? help.
Hi. My Fiance' and I are trying to figure out a close estimate with what we would make a year once we finish our college education.
I'm going to be a labor & delivery nurse
and he is going to be a high school math teacher/basketball coach.
What is an estimate with what we would make a year; together?
We live in Tennessee. Close to Nashville, if that helps.
We are both doing things we love; so we wanna see if we are going to be okay finically.
Thank you!

This is really a hard question to answer. For instance your Fiance' salary can differ from school district to school district. Your salary will be about the same no matter where you work because Nurses are in such great demand.
Where I live a starting teachers salary can range from a low of $28K to $40K and that is in a radius of less than 50 miles. It just depends on if the teacher is in the inner city school, the teachers teaching credentials and how badly they need the subject the teacher is willing to teach. Coaching is extra curricular and schools do not have a lot of money for those things so the compensation is not as high as it use to be. Just a note here: I live in one of the richest counties in the Nation and our teachers are paid very well. Still a starting teachers salary does not allow for that teacher to afford to live in the county they are working in unless of course they have a wife like you who could be pulling in $50K to $75K a year at almost any hospital in the area.
Nashville like any other big city has been hurt by the recession. The best thing to do is to start looking at the different school systems in the counties, I believe the call them Parishes, and see what the teachers are paid. Then start looking at area hospitals and find out what they are advertising for nurses.
I know I haven't given you the information you are looking for but for what you want you need real numbers. For that you need to go to the source and it is available on line if you look for it. One thing you can bank on is that your income will be the bigger of the two as nurses are in short supply and the demand is high. Hospitals compete for nurses.

if there are any job website you can look at that looks at how you get into the job they should tell you the esitimated salary rate that you may get buy using this you could find out roughly what you will make and work out from there how much you can afford for everyday things like a somewhere to live, food, bills etc.
hope this helps you in anyway
