Cool you want to be a teacher! Being a school principal can come with a high salary (think $130,000 on average in LA! ), but it’s a long road. Here’s why:
- Teacher First: You’ll need a bachelor’s degree in education and teaching experience (years in the classroom).
- Masters Might Be Needed: Many principals have a Master’s degree in education (takes extra 1-2 years).
