I am reading these posts about different jobs and their pay.. I always told my kids, do not ever look at a job for how much you will make. Look for a job you will entirely enjoy. Do you want to be doing a job making $50,000 a year and hate it..or do a job making $40,000 a year and love it? Your life will be so much easier if you love your job. So my nephew gave up his high paying job.. to go back to school to be a math teacher. I give him credit, as in this day and age.. no way could I or would I want to be a teacher. Right now I think they have the most thankless job around.. and the hardest. The students seem to have all the rights..and teacher done.
