Then, there's those overpaid school teachers in California who retire at 100%, get COLA increases from a bankrupt state, and who are rolling in dough.~ |

That is truly infortunate, but I have a hard time feeling too sorry for folks that made well over $100K/year and didn't sock away a little on their own for retirement. I make less than most senior airline pilots and I'm not planning on having SS be available when I retire nor my company pension. If one or both are still there, that will be gravey. Then, there's those overpaid school teachers in California who retire at 100%, get COLA increases from a bankrupt state, and who are rolling in dough.~ I'm not familiar with CA (thankfully!), but in most states teachers make a LOT less than airline pilots. And put up with mounds more bull**** for about 10 hours a day and at least 20 days out of the month. |

Yeah, but they only have to work 180 days out of the year and work only 7
hour days and then get retirement plans that are killing the tax payers. "Stu Gotts" wrote in message ... On Thu, 01 Jan 2004 13:59:54 GMT, "Matthew S. Whiting" wrote: wrote: Jay Honeck wrote: Capt.

Answer this one, too: Why is it that over 3/4ths of teachers come from the bottom quartile of their graduating classes? |

Answer this one, too: Why is it that over 3/4ths of teachers come from the bottom quartile of their graduating classes? Because he didn't ask a question. He made a statement. The only question in the above is the one I asked. Matt |

I don't think that is true, but the statistic I know is true states that most teachers leave teaching in the first 5 years. The reason? The pay isn't worth the headaches, time, etc. Margy |

I am changing careers. After working for 12 years in the computer science
industry I am going to "semi-retire" to teach math and computer science. Many family members and acquaintances teach and when I compare their lifestyle and working hours and stress to mine I conclude that the pay cut is worth the reduced hours and the retirement benefits are almost criminal.

(in my opinion) Let us know what you think after completing your first year of teaching. Good luck! I've often thought of this as well, but I know several teachers very well and low stress isn't in their job description. Matt |
