And here is the starting salaries nationwide for several positions in 2005. Teaching is at the bottom along with the rather vague grouping called Liberal Arts. And this is after the biggest annual increase in all starting salaries...............11% for teachers. Top starting salary in the country is chemical engineering at 53K. Teachers and Liberal Arts are at 30K and 29K respectively.
