[quote=Anonymous]As a person who has worked for non-profits and gov't contractors I have been on the outside and I observe the following:

- Teachers are the scapegoat for everything, such as poor parenting, yet they are paid abysmally low.

- Long hours outside of contract with everything being made to sound like an requirement "because Administration" "because the School Board" "because the VA Assembly" - passing down all kinds of unfunded mandates.

- I can earn 2x as much and relax in a cubicle and not fear being ostracized on Facebook for a random comment I wrote on a student's paper.

- I can take a day off without having to spend inordinate amount of time on sub plans.

- The hours I work amount to a regular job with 1/2 the pay in this area, so it makes perfect sense. There are plenty of jobs in my field. I guess I'll go back, lol.

- I feel respected by my peers and my clients.

- I can have a flex schedule. Not so in teaching.

- I can telecommute

Those are just some...[/quote]
