A 2 YEAR CONTRACT WITH MORE PAY FOR DOING A GOOD JOB, AND CHANCE TO ACTUALLY GET A BONUS..

may work...

A "good job" as defined by, what? A test score that they may or may not be able to directly impact?

A 2 year contract as opposed to a 1 year contract? That's not real job security.

If you were looking at starting a career, and you had a degree in mathematics, would you pick the $30,000 teaching position with the (WOO!) 2 year contract and a chance at a (WOO!) small bonus and maybe a chance at a raise if your students decide to do well on a test, or would you pick the $50,000 analyst job with bonus and raise?

Gee, that's a tough one.
