Good luck finding a job which pays $60,000+ for 180 days per year. And with an Education degree.
Here in NJ most teachers take home more than $60K (unless they are VERY young); the Asbury Park Press released all of their salaries years ago, ending that media BS about “underpaid teachers” and ensuring Chris Christie’s election. Now when our taxes can’t increase more than 2%, any contract in which teachers get 4-5% results in teacher layoffs (and they have no use in the private sector).
As Christie told one in a town hall meeting, “You don’t have to do this...”.
