Have you ever had something happen to help you realize just how far you've come? I have been looking into part time jobs for the summer, you know the ones that only pay like $13/hr or whatever. When I was a teenager I thought that was sooo much money but now I am realizing it will take no small amount of humility to be willing to go back to working for that low of a wage.

The next time you think about climbing up on a soap box and preaching about how underpaid we teachers are, consider the men and women who still think $13 an hour is a lot of money. Hopefully there are two wage-earners to support their family, but all to often there is only one parent carrying that load. Of course, the Tea Party and MAGA types will just say, "Get another $10/hr. job to pay your bills." Sure, why not work 80 hours a week for less than some people make in 10 hours? Kids don't really need to see their mama anyway, right?

Right?! I won’t do anything for less than $40/hr at this in my life! And our ESY only pays $35- so I am not doing it in my own district this year. Neighboring districts pay way more!

I know, it's so demoralizing. There are a lot of places that pay more than $13 nowadays though, even for menial shift work. I've been thinking about getting a job at Trader Joe's because I've heard they pay at least $25 to start and they offer benefits to employees working 30+ hours. Also I just love TJ's haha

Careful about that Cali, when it comes time you can only draw from 1. But you can choose the larger one

I remember being so excited when my summer lifeguarding pay jumped from $8.75 an hour to $9.50 😂😂

When I started lifeguarding I'm pretty sure I only made $9 an hour so that sounds about right 😂
