Best of Luck...
Love Charleston- it's my number one city I'd like to relocate to. I have couple more years of school though. They say that once the economy turns around there could very well be a huge teacher shortage nationwide. So many veteran teachers are close to retiring. It's only a matter of time, supposedly. I've heard AZ and NM are doing pretty well too. I've never looked much at the West...I don't want to be quite that far from home. (:

Michigan is 4th highest in the country for teacher pay...but it's around 60k per year, not 100k. I just generally assume I'll start around 30k, maybe a little less. The states I'm most interested in seem to be right around that number. For me personally, I'd rather have less money and less winter. (:

As much as I prefer KY over MI, I have to recommend my state if you want to teach. Retirement at 40, sometimes ANNUAL pay raises of 1-3 grand, some of the best benefits of any state... Just keep to the urban areas and you may like it. We have a lot of MI transplants too. I have 2 professors from Michigan this semester.
