Wow! I left museums because I was getting 40-60k offers (curatorial), but I now only make 103k as a fed. Just feel like I'm doing it wrong at every turn. |

| It pisses me off how little we pay our teachers, they educate our kids, work long hours, and get paid so little. Teacher salaries should start at 100k! If the pandemic taught us anything is that teaching is one of the hardest jobs one can do, they should be compensated as such! |

I agree. Obviously that would be funded by tax increases. |

| What do the high income people in DC do or is it really more that DC just isn't in the same league as NYC, LA, and SF? A few people mentioned that on school threads. The lawyers and doctors don't seem to make quite as much here as in those places and other jobs seem to pay far lower here based on these threads. |
