There are a number of reasons that teachers decide to pursue a master’s degree. Not only does it reinforce a commitment to education, but it can also have a substantial impact on a teachers’ lifetime earning potential, particularly if completed early in their career.

Below is a quick look at the total financial benefits a teacher might expect from earning a master’s degree.
