Teacher wellbeing and self-care is so important and it tends to be something that our profession does not prioritize. What are you doing this summer to take care of you?

I’m making meals that nourish my body and give me energy. I have a sourdough starter that I feed everyday, and it’s been really fun to go through the trial and error process of learning a new skill. Also, nothing beats sharing homemade bread (and maybe some wine) with friends.

I am going to the local farmer’s market every chance that I get just because I can (makes me happy!); devouring books like a maniac; snuggling my dog; and taking naps whenever I get the chance. I love being a teacher but learning to take time for myself makes me better.

Maybe I’m misreading the graphic, but if I feel like I need a pedicure, I’m not going to undermine that desire by trying to placate myself with making the bed. The two are not at all comparable. Treat yourself like the goddess that you are.

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

ALL because it wasn’t fair that this student was not passing.
