Off your meds.
50 hours isn’t a very long work week (go talk to a farmer, or a machinist, or even a fast food manager) and private sector jobs outside of banking have nowhere near the holidays government workers get, let alone summers off.
Nor will you see many private sector jobs with retirement benefits even in the same solar system with their government counterparts.
I have a book written in the twenties about how to lie with statistics.
The first, third, and sixth rules are all “Always use averages; never, ever, use the mean.”
Do enlighten us all. What do you make including benefits, and what is the mean income for an adult in your state.
you clearly missed the sarcasm. I am with you.
—or did you mean that at Verga?
Thank you for the personal attack, according Free Republic "rules" I will take the automatic win.

I Know what machinists and engineers make. That is how I paid my way through school with out benefit of government loans. I worked full time and went to school almost full time and carried a 3.96 QPA for two Bachelors and 2 Masters degrees.

I earn about 45,000 per year, (For the past 5 years, our salaries hafve been frozen for that long. Not complaining simply stating a fact.) I get Health insurance, and have to pay for my wifes. This includes a $10o-pay for prescriptuions.I also get a 10K life insurance plan. I have to pay my own dental. Myretirement is 60% of my final average salary after 20 years. I will be able to collect that when I am 67.
As an Engineer I would have been able to retire at age 57 with a heck of a lot more including full medical dental, and 500K life insurance. I would also have been making almost double. Oh and according to this website: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/State=Virginia/Salary I am at athe low end of the salary range, but I already knew that.And as for that myth of Summers offI still put in 20-25 hours per week, that is how I am able to to getr my weekly hours DOWN to around 50/ week
And Seriously, if you truly believe that we teachers have it so good; Come on in, Get a teaching certificate and Masters degree within 5 years and join the ranks. We do need more conservatives voices.
