7. Richmond, Virginia
Average Salary: $50,587
At this point, we’ve crossed, well, over $50,000 when it comes to average teaching salary and that’s not a bad salary at all. Most importantly, you will not have the stress of constantly feeling like you are just scraping by, along with job’s own stresses. Unfortunately for Richmond (and many other cities) a decent salary just isn’t enough anymore, especially when you factor in the long hours. The city has recently faced a shortage of teachers.
