Understand completely. Hit me in my face this last month when I found out my newly graduated niece, age 20, is working as a buyer in Macy’s intern program, and making 68k, about 15K more than I am as a 25 year veteran.
Join AFT in Georgia!!!! They work for the teachers (no administrators allowed!!!!) and fight for everything we have! Also, when Alabama received their 1% raise and then raised the cost of insurance to cover it, AFT went after that and WON!!!! Teachers are getting that money back!!!!
When there’s a serious shortage, heads will go up. When my son earns more than me and he hasn’t worked half the time I did and doesn’t have a degree, there’s a problem
Yes there is!!
Try 32 years and making 53,000!! OK for a second income and I love what I do. What I can’t understand is when I hear teachers complain about how much they dislike their job and yet they don’t leave and do something that makes more money. Many private industries left be to hire people with Ed degrees as human resource advisors and managers.
I don’t have a union, I also don’t have state income tax and I enjoy lower overall taxes. Our benefit packages are good and shared by all employees. Cost of living differences between our areas probably make my 53,000 equivalent to your almost 100,000. Neither of f us are extremely wealthy although we do one of the most important jobs in the country. We do the job because of our passion rather than our compensation packages.
Come to NY
Will they take my years? Lost 4 when I relocated from Florida, which I would have to purchase to count towards my retirement .
Are you in a union?
Have you gone for your Master’s degree or is that what your making with one? If it is, I can definitely understand your frustration .
