Not to mention, most of them have to get second jobs in the summer anyway. Three cheers to those of you who go into the field-- I have enormous respect for what you do.

The teachers up here don't need 2nd jobs.....In Illinois, it is law that all teachers have there salaries published on a website....My friend told me he was making 65k after FOUR FRIGGIN YEARS teaching, told him he was full of crap, he gives me the web site, and wouldn't you know, the f8cker is making $72 less then 65k....I COULDN'T believe it.
