I can only give you anecdotal evidence of those I know who have left the teaching field to go to the corporate world. Most teachers have a BA in a particular field of study OTHER than education. It could be math, psychology, science, etc. Then they usually get a master's in education. Upon graduation from college with a liberal arts BA, I was offered a entry level management position at a brokerage firm for almost double the starting salary of my teaching position. And I know a lot of others who leave teaching for whatever reason and they are making more than me.
