. I do have a Masters from a top rated university, no I did not get reduced tuition, and every time I have gotten a %.03 raise the state has increased my health insurance premiums which has resulted in a negative gain. Am I complaining about my salary, no, would I like to make more, sure I would. I would like to have a pay raise that is not negated by increased premiums.

But you are complaining about your salary. Or at least your compensation. Anyone have a gun to your head keeping you there? If you don't like the way the pay works out, find a position that has the kind of pay structure you like.

Life is full of choices. It is the result of the American System and Free Will.

I said I was not complaining about my salary, the only part I don't like is having any raise negated by increase in insurance premiums. I'm lucky, I love what I do and the kids I work with.
