Rolly, he's not wrong. i live in the midwest and starting salary for teachers is $50k. not to mention guaranteed 5% raises and 160% 401k match. and none of them have protested their jobs....
Reading, math, and general knowledge should be taught yes. But maybe it's time to get schools to give classes in basic life skills as well, especially in high school. For example; how to actually get a job, how to deal with people, or how to manage money.
A lot of young people struggle with a lot of basic things because no one really teaches them in a time when their brain is geared toward not caring too much, trying things out, and just doing. Everyone just assumes they know while most of us just muddle around until we finally figure it out. I know I struggled with money until I finally got in the habit of just not impulse buy anything I liked and stop going out every night.
I have never met a Teacher who made that much in public school. All these people are exagerating their wages or are picked to show the highest wage. Not scientific or revealing.
#12 Now is a good time to be a propulsion person. NASA already paid fair salaries, and the commercial sector is awash in money these days. He's in DC though, so maybe at NASA HQ where it's more bean-counters than people that actually blow stuff up. 95K would be low most anywhere else.
lmao Research scientist. most of them work at university and are overpaid by their faculty management, making them a lapdog for teachers doing nothing. they are useless outside academic institutions
Honestly this doesn’t really tell you anything. “IT” could be anything from Help desk to CTO. #16 works in “Government” for $120k is more than vague. How long has she been in HR? How long has she been a teacher? This isn’t salary transparency. It literally tells us nothing.
I live in Arlington as well and make 95,000 working as a registered nurse (nicu) with 2 years experience, I work overtime maybe 4 weeks out of the entire year (if I choose to). Im surprised about that comment that the nurse practitioner probably working significant overtime to get 120k bc that is not true
I live in western PA in a rural area working as a remote sales and customer service contractor for a NY state company. I make $17/hr + commission which bumps me up to around $60-80k/yr.
I bought a 3 story, 4 bedroom, 1/2 bath house on 75 x 200 ft of land with an additional 2 bedroom apt for $39k with a $317/month mortgage.
So, in other words I make aggressively medium money in an extremely depressed area of the country allowing me to live upper middle class.
My wife works as a bartender and makes $165/wk for 41hrs a week plus tips.
Together we'll probably just clear $100k I'm am area where a "good" job (not counting the handful of lawyers, doctors, and other jobs that require an advanced degree) is $15/hr.
The average person here makes maybe $9.50/hr and has to subsidize with food stamps, welfare, etc.

Schools should stick to the basics like reading and math.
