So you are a nanny, cook, and dishwasher? Good use of an advanced degree.
Stop embarrassing yourself, PP.
Honestly, it's true.
I have a PhD and still clean my own toilet and wash my own car. At work, I take turns making coffee and cleaning up the lab kitchen. DH is a dentist and often does the cleanings himself.
The PP makes lunch and teaches Mandarin. Is there a more important job than teaching children and giving them a secure upbringing?
That is great. I do those things too in my own home when necessary. I still don't think that's a good use of an advanced degree.
Teaching is not a good use of an advanced degree?
Teaching is great, but she's a nanny first not a teacher. Teachers don't cook, clean, and clean poopy butts. Complete waste.
Go to a preschool, or daycare center with certified teachers. So when you have kids and have to cook and clean their butts did you waste your life?
Preschools, and I am talking about the top preschools, do not pay.
How is this relevant? Some still require certified teachers.
Because even the top preschools don’t pay half of what a nanny can make. I am the PP from above who has a nanny who was a certified preschool teacher for years. She earns twice as much with us.
All of this is great, but you don't need an advanced degree to be a preschool teacher. Ok anyway, this thread has been entertaining. This will be my last reply haha.
Thank God! I am sure the PP with the advanced degree is relieved that the arbitrator of career choices has left the building!

If you are working for MCPS you do need an advanced degree.

Seriously, stop your nonsense. Teachers absolutely change diapers, clean poopy butts and prepare meals in most preschools. And nannies don’t clean anymore than a teacher cleans her classroom.
Besides, who the hell are you to tell this nanny she is wasting her degree?! You clearly have issues, PP, to be so upset by a specialized nanny.

NP. I was a self-supporting nanny for years. Wanted to teach at an elite preschool, but all their teachers had to depend on spousal support, or take weekend jobs. I didn’t want the drop in my income for the privilege to teach in a school.

Well let’s see, she’s making $50/hr...
Right, but for how long and how much job security is there in the nanny field? I didn't bust my butt off going to school forever to be someone's cook and wash their dishes. $50/hr isn't that much in the grand scheme of things especially in this area.
You are assuming she is living in DC. And you clearly didn’t calculate what $50/hr comes out to. Most nannies are full time employees so she is looking at close to $100k a year. That’s a good amount for this area. Not to mention she said she was married. Unless you are part of a union no job is secure. Hey if you don’t cook for your family or clean your house that’s on you. You chose a different path and that’s working for you. This woman chose her path and seems to be doing very well.
Listen, I know assistants who make over 100K. It’s all about what you can offer and the skills you have. Sometimes, people paying these salaries are not really paying such a premium for the care, they are paying for discretion, flexibility and good judgment.

Also meant to add, go to a PEP class in an elementary school. The teachers have to change the diapers of SN kids.
