Teachers work 180 days a year. They get off two and a half months for summer, and they get a week at Christmas and a few days around Easter. They work six hours a day.

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.
