[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a public school teacher and now I'm a lawyer. As a lawyer I probably work twice as many hours. And saying teachers work 10 months a year is not really accurate. In addition to summer, teachers also get spring break and a winter break, plus every federal holiday. I loved being a teacher - the money was fine (35 K about 10 years ago in a cheaper city), and the perks were ridiculous. I was definitely not underpaid.[/quote]

How does that compare to your job now? How many days off do you get a year? Do you get federal holidays? I think about 2 weeks off plus federal holidays isn't that much different, right?

How much time did you put into while teaching? Its not uncommon to find teachers putting in an additional 10-30 hours a week due to meetings, prep, etc. If you're the type of teacher who just xeroxes worksheets and teaches straight from textbooks it doesn't take much extra effort (though that's lazy and you do a huge disservice to your students).
