[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who said my DH has a "real" job- believe me, it was entirely sarcastic. I'm just saying that that would be the way it would make me feel teaching at said ritzy school if someone handed me an envelope full of cash. In New York State, where I did my teacher preparation, all teachers had to finish a master's degree within 5 years of earning a provisional license. I have since gone on to complete all of the coursework for a PhD and pass my comprehensive exams (I just have to finish and defend my dissertation- I hope within the next year). For that, I think I made $54K last year. If my husband left me tomorrow with this mortgage, I would be completely SOL, and not for want of trying. I don't understand how anyone in this country thinks that schools can attract the best and brightest if practically every other profession is more lucrative. I'm sorry if I sounded condescending- it's just frustration. [/quote]
