My husband worked 8 hours a day and 254 days a year. Not surprising that he made more than a teacher.
I was a teacher and taught from K - community college over four+ decades. My teacher friends NEVER stopped complaining, ever.
Now they complain that their retirement isn't enough.
I went ahead and got my Master's degree and, consequently made MUCH more than they did and have double their retirement.
They COULD have gone the same route as I did, because we ALL had to continue our education over the years. They took "fun" classes and I took the courses for a Master's. It's not rocket science.
Because people pass too many stupid bonds.
Teachers cry every day about their pay in the local rag. They ought to be grateful that they have pensions and easy hours. Finally, for the garbage children are indoctrinated with nowadays, i think their pay ought to be cut drastically.
