Okay, let’s tackle this. So Michelle has 18 years of experience as a school psychologist, which is a specialized role. The average salary range for school psychologists in the US is around $60,000-$90,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, considering her experience and location (Oakland, NJ), her rate might be on the higher side. Let’s check averages for school psychologists in the NYC area, where Oakland is located. The average salary range is around $80,000-$120,000 per year. Given her experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $40-$60. However, considering her expertise and the fact that she's been with the same company for 18 years, I’d round up to $75 per hour.
