Wow, almost $400k per year career flushed down the toilet. Now she is toxic, to boot. She can be the stay at home mom she always wanted to be.
It is common in Oklahoma for administrators of small rural independent school districts with something on the range of 200 to 250 students or less to be paid packages on the order of $200,000 per year. They are often amongst the highest paid and securely employed people in dirt poor areas and inevitably are the earliest and most well off retirees. There are hundreds of these little schools across the state that should at least be part of consolidated and more efficiently run systems. All this in a state that is too poor to fix its roads or even pay attention.
In a recent federal jury pool experience I was shocked that by far and away the majority of people employed were in local education or some form of social services. The rest were in trades and seldom agriculture or retired from some industry, federal or military job outside the area. Rural Oklahoma is a good example of a nation that produces nothing or not much. Another "service based" economy.
