Not Art History - just "Art" (crayons, watercolors & stuff). He started in the
early 70's. I think salaries may top out lower if you started within the last 10

About where I'll be this year with what's going on. Only monetary advantage is I
don't have & will never want kids. (I'm not knocking kids, so no cuddly joy
parental comments, please)

They give that Art Teacher friend of mine about $7500 just to teach summer
school, but you need to be chosen by the administration after applying. (Its
good to be buddies with the Principal :)
