My husband started out teaching in 1956. His first contract was for $2,400. He never had summer vacations as he was always teaching summer school to make ends meet. He spent evenings correcting papers and going to school to get a Masters Degree. With a Masters Degree and 35 years of teaching he retired in 1994 earning $40,000.
So don't tell me they have it made.
Moose as far as your sister making $70,000 in Southern California she should get double that for risking her life to teach there.

Of course, it's possible to buy a nice house with a good-sized yard, in a nice neighborhood, for under $150,000 here - in fact, way under if you're in the right place and look around a bit.
