Elissa Curlin: Special education teachers in elementary make between $25,828 - $61,355 a year. If you live frugally and in area with low cost of living, you'd be fine.
Matt Gerdeman: What country?
Marya Fehn: Sure - assuming we have a similar idea of what is "decent." First year educators typically make at least $30K; however, you would most likely make more than that because of your special education qualifications.
