[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you explain what you don’t like about your current job?  Not sure what you are hoping to change. [/quote]

I guess the things I don't like add up to feeling almost inhuman:

-not being able to go to the bathroom for hours (because you can't leave kids alone and there isn't a second adult)

-being massively underpaid-- I calculated by hours worked and if I break it down by hour, Starbucks and other wage workers make more than I do.

-being disrespected by students, parents, admin. Of course some are lovely, but the bad apples are... bad.

-having to skip meals or choke down a granola bar in the bathroom because of being pulled into subbing and having no lunch time. The reason for eating in the bathroom is because I don't think we are supposed to eat in front of students / in the classroom.

I guess I'd like to be able to drink water and go to the bathroom. And maybe make a little more than what amounts to about $17/hour. Summers off are nice, but I often end up working or doing classes so I don't actually take summer break.[/quote]

That's the nature of the beast with a salaried job...yea, most of us work 40+/week and if you break it down by hour, yea, Starbucks does pay more, but....do they give other perks (like the entire summer, all holidays, etc).

Just be careful what you wish for...

But if you want your Saud "easy job" and you're so convinced Starbucks pays more hourly than go work there

Bus drivers too, make $22+ /hr, including bonus and CDL training. 
Another "easy" job Op.[/quote]

My issue is that I went through 6 years of school and paid tuition to get paid at this rate. Starbucks doesn’t require a masters degree. [/quote]

Are you OP? The vast majority of of jobs in the US teaching children don't require a masters degree either. So you have a masters degree and are 'uncertified'? You were unaware that teaching is a low-paying profession? Look I'm on your side here that teachers and day care workers should earn more but something about your situation is not adding up.
