Average teacher pay in texas - and nursing pay ??? advice please!?

I'm in college right now, and I'm considering switching my major.
I ideally had early childhood education as my first choce, switched it to aerospace engineering, and want to switch it back again.

I never really knew, but does anyone know the average pay for an elementary teacher in the state of texas - both public and private schools?

I also considered majoring in elementary education, and then getting an associate degree in ultrasound technician, so I could work at a hospital or try to be one of the nurses in the newborn section - with at least some experience???

Or would i just have to major in nursing in order to be able to be a nurse in a newborn section in the hospital???

Here's what the American Federation of Teachers said in its Oct 2005 report:

"Texas Ranks 30th in the Nation for Teacher Pay
Teacher Salary in Texas Falls Behind Inflation
Teachers Nationally Earned 18 Cents for Every New Dollar in Other Professions from 1994-2004"
