Both mission-driven nonprofit institutions and fast-growing edtech startups hire across every experience level — from entry-level educators to senior education leadership. ### What are typical salary ranges for education careers? Education salaries vary significantly by role, employer type, and sub-industry. Teachers and school administrators are typically compensated on district pay scales, while edtech and online learning companies often offer salaries competitive with the broader tech sector. Check the salary data on this page for current benchmarks specific to each role and sub-industry within education. ### Is the Education sector growing, and what are the job prospects?
