[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I invest plenty in my career.

When I’m on contract. You are a CHUMP if you work contract hours for free for months at a time. [/quote]

Well that settles the debate whether teachers are professionals or just laborers in a large education-industrial complex.[/quote]

My one opinion didn’t settle anything but go on. I get you think you’ll make me feel like a bad teacher for not working 40 hour unpaid  work weeks off contract but it won’t happen. [/quote]

And it shouldn’t. I’m not a teacher, but I’m not working if I’m not compensated. I’m a professional, and part of that means that I expect to be compensated for the job I do and the tenants that come with that job. I’m a nurse, and I’m paid for trainings that I attend. If not, I wouldn’t attend them because I don’t work for FREE. Stop equating free labor with professionalism. You can be good at your job and understand that you should be compensated for it at the same time. [/quote]

Lawyer here. I bill hours. Does that make me unprofessional? If I craft an email to or for a client, they get billed for my time and services. I don’t work out of the goodness of my heart. I work to get paid and put food on the table. [/quote]

Do you bill a client for any law review articles you read?  How about for reading up on what the bar association is changing wrt to new applicants?  How about for mentoring an intern?  Or any of the thousands of things you do stay current in your profession?[/quote]
