I am 57 years old and have been teaching for about 16
years. I relocated many times and I am only in my current
district in western PA for 3 years. I have 40+ grad credits
but never got my masters, in part because of all the
moving. I am considering a Masters program that would also
allow me to obtain principal certification. Very little of
the tuition would be reimbursed by my district and I would
not qualify for financial aid. I am trying to sell my
husband on spending $12,000 with very little return unless
of course I could land an assist. principal position. The
change on the salary scale for Masters would not increase
my salary by very much at all. I could complete the program
within 18 months. Never mind what the law says, I am
wondering if my age would be a handicap for landing a job.
I would be interested in your candid opinions. Thank you in
advance for your insight.
