Hey Katlyn!
Pay for teachers will vary greatly on years of experience, position (are they teaching high school, college, etc.), location of where they are teaching, and where they teach (is it a public school or private institution).
If you do a quick google search, you can find pay ranges:

Now on to if its "good" or "bad". Its hard to say because teachers get some other benefits like weekends off and summer vacation (although some still have to work during the summer). You also get the satisfaction of nurturing young minds and affecting generations of students by helping them along their education (you can't put a dollar amount on that). Good luck!

Again there are many deciding factors that will impact your salary, including your degree, how long you have been at a school, and the area in which you live. However, don't get in to teaching thinking you will be drowning in money. Almost every teacher I've worked with has more than one job unless they are a dual income household.
