"My sister in law teaches 10th grade English in southern California and makes $70,000 a year. Not bad."



If you ever hear her complain, remind her that she is earning at the rate of $124,000 if she had a real full time job instead of her cushy half-day, summers-free, I-can't-make-it-in-get-me-a-sub job, and that she is making more money than 90% of the population.

The typical response I get from teachers to this reminder is "but my job is hard work!" Sure it is, like everyone else's, except that you don't need any creativity, you can just recycle the same curriculum each year, and if all esle fails just dump off your mistakes to the next grade level.

All she does is bitch and complain about her "long hours" and the "daily commute." She's a liberal, but the funny thing is she despises the California teacher's union, the fact that she has to be a member to have/keep her job, and the mandatory dues she has to pay.
