[quote=SD Realtor]To me being a teacher working those hours 9 months a year is A HELL of alot harder then being an engineer and writing code all day.[/quote]
[quote=SD Realtor] My wifes best friends brother sells frigging hot dogs at all the state fairs, works about 5-6 months a year and makes way more then us engineers.
[/quote][quote=SD Realtor]The bottom line is, if you have kids, your teacher will spend more waking time with your kids then you will over a year for most working folks.
For me working a 60 or 70 hour week surrounded by engineers and writing code/running sims/ etc is easier then kids.[/quote]November 11, 2009 at 9:19 PM #481230ParticipantOT: It’s “than” not “then”. Sorry, can’t resist.

Participant[quote=kev374][quote=SD Realtor]I would say anybody that has to spend 6 hours a day with alot of children is earning money. To me being a teacher working those hours 9 months a year is A HELL of alot harder then being an engineer and writing code all day.[/quote]
I disagree. The amount of knowledge, creative thinking and deadline pressures you have to deal with on some of these Engineering projects is far greater than any high school teacher will experience I can tell you that.
How much knowledge do you need to put kids in line? How much knowledge and experience do you think one needs to fix a mission critical multi million dollar system that breaks down in the middle of the night and needs to be resolved before the start of business next morning?
Comparing the two is just ridiculous![/quote]
Kev374,
What makes you think that someone with an engineering degree is better educated than a HS math teacher?
Credentialled teachers have to have a B.A. or B.S. PLUS at least two years of post-graduate education, if not a master’s degree.
Knowledge, creative thinking and deadline pressures…if you think teachers don’t have to deal with these things, I’ll go out on a limb and guess you’ve never taught a single day in a public school classroom. You have no idea how much stress teachers have to deal with.
I’ve worked in the public sector as a teacher, and in the private sector in management/trouble-shooting working 80-100 hours/week in the manufacturing/tech industry. Teaching was the most stressful job I’ve ever had, by far.
