Does anyone else get comments about their finances as soon as they mention they’re a teacher? It’s not every time, but it happens enough to be frustrating. Like, why do people think it’s okay to joke about or question my salary just because I’m an educator?

I usually hear comments about how lucky I am to make such a good salary with a job that is only six hours a day with every holiday off plus summer break. No one in my family understands what it actually takes and they don’t want to hear about it. So I just smile and nod and let the conversation topic move on.

Yes! I once had someone say that I must really love what I do since it’s not for the money, and I didn’t even know how to respond.

I haven't gotten comments about my salary. The weird comments I've gotten tend to be focused on discipline issues. People get the idea that kids are just completely out of control and they say things like they can't believe I can put up with it. I tell them it's not the mayhem they may see on the news.

The discipline dilemma is definitely a topic point when people talk about me being a teacher. Of course, I hear a lot about income, too.
