[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's hilarious that this thread seems to view the economy as being composed of teachers and tech workers.

Each industry has its own quirks. One aspect of teaching that has been raised on this thread is that there are "no promotions". And unlike in tech, if you job jump to another school system, you are much more likely to get a pay cut than a pay bump.

In many sectors, including the federal government as well as many tech companies, you can get promotions and a reasonably large pay bump (e.g. 10%) if your boss decides to promote you to the next level (for example in AWS you could go from being an "analyst" to a "senior analyst". Your job is functionally the same, but the promotion recognizes you are doing a higher level of work with less supervision. This does not happen in teaching jobs.[/quote]

They are not remotely equal.  It's near impossible to get a promotion with AWS.  You have to leave and come back.  And, you don't always get more money.[/quote]

That's funny, I must know some really lucky people because the ones I know have definitely gotten promoted at AWS.

Also I have no idea what you are trying to argue. What did I saw was "equal" that is "not remotely equal"?[/quote]
