Starting a new job at a school and need to decide between the Public Employment Retirement System (PERS) or State of NJ Teachers' Pension & Anunuity Fund. All this drama with our governer and changed NJ laws is making it difficult to choose. Anyone have ideas which plan is better for the long run? Thanks!

In a time where unions have proven themselves to be self fulfilling, it is time to eliminate them within education. Why you may ask? Simply put education cannot achieve parody with the rest of the market. They pay outrageous amount to labor costs, which by the way, is set by prevailing wage. The education unions make it impossible to get competitive pricing and have held districts hostage all in the name of “it not good for the kids”. As a district employee, specifically an administrator for

Hey I have a few questions on officiating weddings. Particularly if in the LDS faith you are required to be a Bishop or higher in order to officiate, or if the tier of "Elder" or "Teacher" is sufficient. Also I live in Idaho and the statute on officiating reads as follows: "32-303. BY WHOM SOLEMNIZED. Marriage may be solemnized by either a current or retired justice of the supreme court, a current or retired court of appeals judge, a current or retired district judge, any federal judge, the

am a Secondary High school teacher from the State of California with retirement benefits provided by CalSTRS based on a certificated salary schedule with years of district experience and professional growth. If I decide to change and take a teaching position in a Community College or a University (UC or Cal State in California) or a job in education in a government agency like USAID for example, will I get a full transfer of my retirement benefits within their own retirement system or not?

I already have my BS degree and am thinking of either going back to school for an accelerated BS in nursing (15 months) or a masters degree teacher's certifacation program in grades K-8 (it is 9 months of student teaching and then 15 credits after that to get your masters...). I am confused what I could teach in grades 6-8 without a specific subject, but that's what the program says... I don't have enough credits in one subject (without taking more undergrad classes) to teach a specific subje

My husband is a teacher and has just become fully vested in his retirement program. We are considering moving in a year or two out of state where he will get another teaching job. Therefore he will be in a different pension system. When he retires he will be fully vested in two different states Teacher's pension system. How does that work? Can he collect from both? Do we have to submit taxes in both states?

besides retirement system..is there another loan i can take out?

Extravagant retirement benefits, teachers paid to do nothing, employees pumping up their pensions with overtime... it is bankrupting states. Unions ruined our auto industry. Now, they are destroying our school systems and making it impossible to balance government budgets. Sure, these people are important and deserve a REASONABLE retirement plan. But reasonable is not what they have. They get much more than anyone else. They always trot out the police and fire as examples of why they deserve r

I am in my early 30s and I am considering going to graduate school to teach secondary education. I think I would really enjoy being a history teacher. I like working with the middle and high school age group and I am passionate about history. One of the biggest things holding me back is the fear of not being able to plan for retirement. I don't expect to retire "early" or to be wealthy but I would rather not spend my later years in poverty or be working till I drop dead either. I am 33 and i

Please help me answer these questions: 1) Should Social Security be privatized? Would you support a partial privatization? How would you go about investing your private share for your retirement? What is the drawback of letting individuals bear all the risk in their retirement? Is this a safe plan for the future of Social Security? 2) We often say that education is the key to improving ones chances in life, but is our educational system really equal? Compare, for example, schools in diffe

I am a high school teacher currently in the state of Michigan (in my 6th year of teaching). My husband and I are moving to Texas. Will they accept my years of service from Michigan towards my retirement of will I have to start all over and do a total of 30 years in Texas to collect pension??? Any specific details you can provide about Texas teacher retirement system? I've dwindled around on the website a bit but haven't really found what I'm looking for,

This is where i stand on issues. 1) To be the Candidate of National security: a) Victory in Iraq b) Fully support NSA, Patriot act, tough interrogations, keeping Gitmo open c) A Candidate that pledges to NOT demean our military while they are fighting for their Country. eg Harry Reid: "the surge has failed", "the war is lost" d) Candidate that promises to ensure that our veterans can live out their lives in dignity. 2) The Candidate who pledges to oppose Appeasement: a) The Candidate wil

What do you mean by, """If you work five years or ten years, according to state requirements, then you can retire at age ~65. So you have been a member of the retirement system many years. "" Does it mean if you worked 5 or 10 years you can receive a pension but you put be of age to do so??? Do I really have to wait that long "Until 65" to receive Pension Monthly income.

lack the capacity to care about their job? I am sorry but I feel many public school teachers are in the job for the retirement and other benefits of a state employee. As a former student that went through the public school system, many teachers I noticed seemed to be very snobby and got all mad when students raised their hands to ask questions. No wonder so many students in my local area drop out of high school. No positive people to encourage them and thats really sad.

I am a 28, white, bored gay male in Denver CO. I teach middle school art and thought teaching would be fun. Because of budget cuts, Im not sure I have a job next fall, and finding a teaching job in Denver will be really hard (there will be a lot of unemployed teachers here). I grew up here in Denver, went to college nearby, and have family here. It is here I have connections and with the state government I have a retirement fund. However, there is a part of me that wants to leave t

Is it worth it to be in a pension plan? I am apart of the Teacher Retirement System. I make 33,000/ year right now, but I have the earning potential of 65,000 come retirement time. Should I move on and work for corporate America or stay? Pension plans continue to pay per month until you die. Is it worth it to stay with the pension plan? What is your guess that in 35 years the thousands of people that took part in a teacher retirement system in every state will actually get enough to live off

Why can’t some of the parents who are unhappy about how bad schools are work together to help make changes? We as teachers truly cannot change what is going on. To speak up against standardized testing, NCLB and horrific discipline problems as a teacher gets us blackballed in a school district and it can be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a job. Instead of working to improve things, parents are pulling their kids out of public schools and sending them to private schools. But if all those parents

My wife is a veteran teacher at 60 years old who would like to retire. She has 17 years in private schools under the social security system. She also has 16 years in a state retirement system while teaching in public schools. In Kentucky, she is only allowed to retire from one system or the other, yet she earned both. This just doesn't seem fair - has anyone found a way to beat this? She would only get about 30% of her social security if she retires from her state pension. If she goes to socia

I used to teach in California, but have lived in Texas for about 4 years now. Last year, I decided to withdraw my retirement savings from the California Teachers' Retirement System. They deducted federal tax but did not deduct state tax because they said they didn't have to since I live in a state that does not have a state tax. Anyway, my tax person in Texas swears that I have to pay state taxes in California (which does have a state tax) because the money was coming from there. Anyone have t

I am a retired state school counselor & teacher. I receive a nice retirement check from my states retirement system (but it is not enought...for me) while I am raising 2 grandchildren now. We gladly took them in about 10 years ago. Before I entered into education I had earned "40" quarters toward my SS contribution like all of us do, except in my state the SS Admin. will not let me receive my SS because I receive income from my teacher retirement. Is this right? Can they do that to me? I am cr
