Great question! I can't answer this exactly because it is dependent on the person. What I can help with is WHAT you should be thinking about when you make that decision. Here are two important things to consider.
1. Salaries: Salaries differ WILDLY from state-to-state. Where you teach matters a lot when it comes to making money. But it's not just income, it's also cost of living. Teaching is not a high paying job, but it can be a good paying job -- do your research
2. Policies: State policies will impact what you teach and how you can teach it. If you have progressive values and beliefs, for example, it may be difficult for you to teach in a 'red state' due to your ideologies. Which is totally fine BTW, you should teach wherever you are comfortable
Hope this helps!
