[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And fyi the "we're so underpaid" is just false, I am sorry but it is. I don't think teachers are overpaid either. I think the compensation is well in line with those for other jobs requiring similar education (but no, it's not in line with inflated tech salaries - guess what you still have a job and thousands of them don't so joke's on them)[/quote]

I’m a 2nd year teacher making 63k, and I work tons of overtime.

You think that’s paid well? [/quote]

Do you think other people with masters start making that much with benefits? Most don't, unfortunately.[/quote]

Yes they do. Education is a low paying field because it’s mostly women. My kid made more than that with just a four year degree. [/quote]
Thanks for sharing your study of your sample of one. Look at the data from the Census Bureau yourself if you want. People wildly overestimate  how much money most people (even those with advanced degrees) make. And that data doesn't account for pension benefits which as much as people complain about them, are quite significant.

+1. The pension benefits are enormous, and so are the healthcare benefits in retirement. Teachers start out low but overtime can make quite a bit of money especially if they're teaching summer school and taking on coaching.  It's the type of compensation package that appears low but it is actually not bad at all[/quote]
