[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, it really is. But you will never get that. You don't get new standards, nor do I. No matter how you slice it, those who are making not only 250K but much, much less and whining about it are clueless and out of touch.

Why is it ridiculous to bust your rump in med or law school for years and then whine about how you don't feel rich? What truly middle class professions spend 3 or more years in school beyond high school?  It's an effort vs. reward thing.  It's not that waitresses and school teachers don't work hard, it's that they are less educated.  If I made $70K a year, I'd want 2 or 3 months off each year too, but since I make $200K, I think it's reasonable for me to have to work 11.5 months a year.[/quote]

Eh hem. I work at a private school and most teachers I know have at least a Masters Degree. About 1/4 of them have Doctorates. They actually love teaching which is why they are doing it. Not because they aren't educated enough to earn more. Also, have you been to any college towns lately? There are tons of people with Ph.D's working in restaurants. This effort vs reward thing you speak of?  Sounds like we should be paying nuclear plant workers MILLIONS right now. You are an ass. [/quote]

In addition to effort vs reward, there's common sense. If you love teaching so much that you're willing to pay for a master's degree without discernible financial reward, then you have your reward. You knew teaching pay sux rox when you went into it.[/quote]
