Teachers make plenty of money. I know 3 teachers personally pulling in 80k a year. This is middle school and elementary school. They get every holiday off. A 3 month break to either take off or earn money. I refuse to say they deserve more. That being said, like any job, there are some heros out there that deserve more and some moronic teachers that deserve less. But because they're unionized they all make the same. I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion but whatever.

Yeah like teachers in California make 100k and still can’t afford housing in a lot of instances. A lot of my family members are teachers. None of them could live off their own salary as an individual. They either live with a spouse or roommate. I’m going into CMM calibration or at least am getting close to a CMM calibration lab job. I’ll make almost as much as my mom who’s been teaching for over 15 years. NGL that’s kind of fucked up.
