Come on, you have to say in comparison, becoming a realtor and the money that can be made in that career is far greater than being a teacher. Arnold is issuing more cuts for education. That means teachers will get fired! More likely, and maybe unfortunately, the newer ones.
Don’t forget, too, that teachers work after school hours, preparing lessons, grading homework. They put in a lot of years to get where they’re at. And not only do they have the pressure of passing children in overcrowded classrooms, but it’s not so easy to deal w/some of these kids. Some of them have ADD, etc. Some of them lack respect, cause disturbance, troublemakes, are abusive. Heck, some areas even dangerous, gangs, school shootings.
I know the thought of how teachers have it made. I think the same thing. If I had to do it over again, become a teacher, full benes and weekend off and summers off. Seems so easy, but there’s all the years to invest in it and the politics and the other crap that goes w/it. In the end, you’re better off becoming a realtor. In the good times, easy money. Again – truly, no real offense to any realtors.
Now if you want to address firefighters, we will go off topic, but I will lean in agreement w/you on that, lesser in agreement for cops, which you did not mention
