Why nurses, teachers and cops always bitch about their pay?

Teachers don't make to much they just are in a system that forced them to save and invest. That's why the. End up with more.

Yeah actually nurses do know more most of the time. Doctors are usually clueless. Not so much in family practice but in senior care and hospitals, nurses are the driving force.

You've just named the three professions in this country that has 'fun' fucking over your family.
Government hounds in your personal space.

Unions and the entitlement mentality it brings.

Many of them are clueless when it comes to pay and benefits in the private sector. They think everyone gets paid like a CEO.As a result they want the same.

Nursing and cop are shitty, shitty jobs from what I know of friends and family that do it. Depressing as hell. teacher not so much, depending on where and who you teach.

Because comparison is suffering.

Police, nurses and teachers come into contact with the richer members of their communities. They notice what others have and how others live.

I know school districts where 30% of their budget is pensions and medical for retired teachers and the percentage is climbing.
I have a friend who's wife is a Physicians assistant and makes $125k a year.
There are more ex cops in some major cities collecting full pensions with full medical than officers on the force.

Nurses in calif. make 40 to 50 dollars an hour when they graduate.
11 or 12 dollars an hour?
What state pays nurses that?

Somehow you falsely believe that other Americans in other professions don't take their work home with them. The fact is most jobs that offer good money with a salary actually require you to take your work home with u.

In fact that was one of the reason why I got out of sales. Sure I was making good money but with that money came long hours and customers calling at the strangest times.

I'll gladly let you try to teach 120 of my middle schoolers per day.

1. On average, I grade over 100 essays at a time.
2. These can't be graded during school hours when I am teaching your child.
3. 100 essays x 5-10 mins. per essay= 500 to 1000 mins. of grading. (My own time after school.)
4. I have a family of my own. I have to grade your child's essay instead of spending time with my own family.
5. I spend approximately 5 hours per week (outside of class) planning lessons that involve adhering to standards, incorporating technology, and making sure I provide accommodations to every child with a 504 plan.
6. Several of my students are still learning English. Yep, you guessed it. I have to provide separate lessons for them as well as accommodations in my regular lesson plans.
7. I have to teach a core subject, while trying to teach your child to behave in public, since you neglected to do this.
8. After your precious angel leaves on the bus, I have to stay after school making parent phone calls. Most of the time you don't answer the phone, or blame me for your child's misbehavior.
9. My "summers" are filled with constant continuing education. Becoming a teacher is not just a one off. I have to take classes to renew my certification every 5 years.
10. 90% of all my classroom supplies come from my own pocket. That's $1000-2000 every year. Most of this goes to buy supplies for students who either can't afford them, or whose parents are too lazy to purchase them.

I love my job. I go home every day exhausted, yet fulfilled. Do I think I'm underpaid for what I do?

HELL YES!

Oh, and by the way, OP..... Fuck you too.




Bravo...

Parent teacher conferences tomorrow.....
