Why does my wife with 2 MS degrees and 17 years of experience make 48k?| "REEEEEE why doesn't my wife make more money????"

Because she does a job anyone with a 12th grade education and ability to not molest children can do

I don't think teaching has ever been a high paying profession? She knew what she was getting into

I agree, I think nationally the right thing to do is just tell teachers up front. We dont care about you, education is not important and it means so little we will never pay you enough to live. So eff being a teacher.. That logic is plain stupid.

The medium income for a person in Florida is 39,000. She makes alright money. More than enough to live on if her husband works too.

Why does someone with 2 master's teach? If she wanted to be a teacher from the beginning why choose degrees with no ROI?

Well I would say it's because if they didn't, we would be living in a version of the walking dead but it would be the walking brain dead.

Lmao. "If she didn't get 2 useless degrees her students would be stupid!"

Florida living cost is low, she only has to work 3/4 of the year—- seems fair to me

I'd rather have a random 15 year old farmgirl teach my kids, prairie style, than anyone with a specialized education degree

>15 year old farmgirl

:marseydisagree:

A 15 year old farmgirl was always considered inadequate as a teacher.

The ideal old timey school marm was about 25, college educated*, an impeccable example of morals and manners, and importantly, unmarried.


*college education being drilled in reading, writing, history, and arithmetic, and getting up at 6am every morning with polished heels and neat hair for 6:30 chapel service. You also had to swim laps, scrub floors, and would be kicked out for swearing.

Have you heard the filth that comes out of a modern education major's mouth when they giggle with their friends? They wouldn't last a day. Also, upon (the regular) inspection they would find bad novels in their dormatory (Worse than even Trilby!) and cast these harlots out of the college with no appeal.

A teacher would lose her teaching contract if she got married (just like a kpop idol)

also Florida pays there teachers better than the natnl average. Whats dumb is that she decided to do that when she could havr hot the same position with an associates degree. This post is like someone asking why they only make $40,000 a year working as shift manager at best buy despite having a PhD. The PhD has nothing to do with the job and so has no effec ton the salary. Neither him nor hos wife learned common sense in school or in life generally

I'm 100% sure you can google "teacher salary" and get the payscale sorted by highest degree earned and years spent teaching in any state or district

The general idea that teachers have to accept such low wages because "they knew what they were getting into", and any time a demand is made for better working conditions or higher wages they are shamed as "selfish" or even "stupid" is beyond crazy.

If no one taught children, what would we do?

/u/Efficient-Leek that's a false dichotomy.

We need, as a society, all helping careers. Hospice workers, nurses and nurses assistants, teachers, childcare, social welfare workers, etc are all historically underpaid, and maybe coincidentally all full of primarily women.

No. They're paid what they're worth, but many also have needless degrees that inflate their egos. No teacher needs more than 1 year of college and the vast majority don't need any. Same with welfare workers.

The general consensus is we need to sit down and shut up about poor wages and working conditions because "you knew what you were getting into". Why can't we ask for the shitty circumstances to change? Why is that so bad?

Because it's already rigged to benefit you. Lets see how happy you are with wages when suddenly 70% of the country can also apply for the positions you want.

I think that since we ARE mostly women, there is still the "oh she's just working for her pin money" mentality. If I wanted to be a little more cynical, I could say that they hate the idea of us living on our own with a good income.

No I just assume any job done by a woman isn't that important.

It's institutional sexism. As an industry becomes more female dominated, average pay decreases. People want to say it's supply and demand, but it's not. It's a devaluation of women's labor.

If construction or mechanics became female dominated at the same rate men left the field, I can almost guarantee, based on the data available, that pay would decrease because the same thing happened in nursing and education. Men left en masse, women filled in the gaps, and pay fell.

It's actually pretty gross on a societal level.

!nooticers Hmm, why would people want to pay female mechanics and labourers less? Real thonker.

in the 60s and 70s, the supply of labor doubled, male teachers who retired were replaced by women, and everyone's starting wage went down all at the same time. we need an economist to explain how this could be anything but misogyny. :marseygoodnight:

It's amazing how these worldviews think people and corporations have limitless greed -- except for a carve-out to be misogynistic even though it costs more.

$48k for babysitting while getting 3 months off aint bad.

These r-slurs complaining about teacher salary forgot to inflate the wage for the 3 month vacation.

On top of 3 months off, my kid's school district runs 6 hours days for elementary school. That's not just crazy from a wage perspective, but it's also amazingly inconvenient

Teachers literally just take their material from books and on-line courses and regurgitate it to students. A teacher's job is no more complicated and demanding than that of a general manager at a fast food chain who has to manage employee shifts, menu items, etc. Total Teacher Death.

My chemistry teacher was an ex SWAT sniper who'd tell us about pouring wax into hollow-points and how one time he put 2 rounds into a guy before he hit the ground.

Idk what he knew about chemistry beyond explaining why bodies turned pink when he found suicides from carbon monoxide poisoning
