Tell that to all the Congressional staffers making 30k who work extremely long days. [/quote]

How is that relevant?  OP, I hear you.  Hard work and long hours sucks for everyone in any profession.  I totally believe that teachers should be paid more and deserve more respect.  At the same time, you willingly chose a profession that has long hours and low pay.  It's fine to complain, but you knew this going in.  I came out of grad school and took a prestigious but low-paying fellowship.  Not fun when I had friends making much more money, but I accepted the job and salary of my own free will.

Lucky for you, chances are you've got a good chunk of time to recuperate over the next 10wks.  Something many of us don't have.  Hang in there![/quote]

It is relevant because they move into higher paying jobs. Many teachers take home less pay than they got the year before. Have you heard about the teacher strikes all over the country? I never knew that my meager paycheck would shrink. I have one day off before I start my summer job. I will need to supplement that summer job working as a night nurse just to equal my paycheck from teaching. [/quote]
