What the heck are you talking about. Listen to yourself. You make 92K sound like it is nothing (and don't discount that this is for 9 months of work). The average income in this country is $35,000 a year with limited benefits and 10 to 20 days off a year. Teachers are starting at this rate with incredible job security and benefits.
What is "SOOOO wrong" here is your perception of reality.
...job security, shmob security, teachers have virtually zero chance of making any real money.
If a bright guy keeps his eyes open, works hard,isn't afraid of risk, and has some ambition, he can make a fortune in the private sector. On the other hand, the guy who just wants to punch the clock is screwed. The world we currently live in is not kind to clock punchers.
Now, think about what you said -- that putting in 38 years in a job that just offers security and a couple months off a year is a good deal if you don't like the job.
First of all , read my post ..I sure as hell don't make 90K.You think that 90K is sooo unreal of a pay for someone who put in 30 years and went to night school for at least 8 to 10 of those years to get a Masters +30 ? Where the hell do you come from bro? Again , MOST teachers NEVER EVER see that kind of money .Guy sloading trucks make what I make afte r10 years teaching ( and I did that job too so don't even go there ) If it's such a scam , wonderfull job pal , such a rich mans salary then why the hell dont you quit what you're doing , take 5 years of your time to get your papers and go teach ..Big mouth !
