I have always had a second job while I am have been teaching. I work at a bar and it's sad that I make more money working at a bar than I do teaching. This is how I paid some of my college. I love it, I have been doing it for over 25 years and I make great money. It's hard to pass up the money at a bar because I only work weekends and I can make anywhere between 300-600 in two nights. I do not have a significant other so I need to pay my bills some way. I love teaching but the pay is not that great but I never got into teaching because of the pay, o wanted to change the lives of my students like my 3rd grade and also my teacher that I had in high school who was absolutely wonderful that is why I became a teacher in the first place.

This is an interesting one. So I work on a small finance team at a tech startup. I have only one peer who is female, about 4 years older than me. She looked at the payroll and realized I make significantly more than her. I also work significantly less hours than her because I work on the technical side while she is operational. I think all of my years in consulting allowed me to get hired at a premium. She sorta confronted me about the pay gap and I skirted the issue...

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules. If they aren’t interested in the class, then it becomes an opportunity for disruptions because they aren’t interested. What are some electives you have at your school that are new, innovative and interesting for todays high school students?
