    ugh, i just watched this video about the game testers. doesnt look to be all its cracked up to be. playing games all day sounded good to me, but that absolutely all you do. you eat and drink while you p;ay games. for 110/hr id still do it though.

    What really suxs is I work in a call center taking calls for people who have questions about their credit card balances and etc.  I make about $14 an hour or $29000 a year. Not bad. But becoming a teacher I will prolly have to take a pay cut!!!! Priobably to $26000 or something. Of course the money will get much better as years go on, but damn payin for a college degree shouldnt yield less money! lol

    Yes, public school teachers are seriously under paid. The next time you think your teachers don't love to teach (or don't love to harass you) think again. The teacher's strike at my school very often (I'm in Cali and we have a very, very crappy education system here). However when they go on strike all they do is protest before school starts. They are always on time for class when they are on "strike." It's kind of a funny way to strike eh?

    Dude, my dad had 2 years college education, became a principle consultant of IBM and get more than 200,000.00 a year. I'm sure surgeons make a hell of a lot more than my dad. (It seems like a lot of money, but with 6 kids, it's nothing.)

    What is sad is that if you work at McDonalds you can make around 30k a year, but a teacher only makes around 25k a year.  Ok that is just *%$#ed up... anyway I thought Lawyers made alot more than 91k a year...  oh well if you are good I guess you can make alot more.  imageimageimage

    well try my university for a change, teachers get what can be called decent payments, the only problem is that the goverment does pay them when they should, so they are always like waiting for money that was suppose to be payed about 5 months abou, they are still waiting for december payments of last year,,, go figure image

    I agree, I think teachers never get paid enough, except for maybe colleg professors. I think teaching id one of the most important jobs. They should get more.

    just heard it on the news about 2 hours ago

    here in orange count, in orlando, in florida, in north america, in america, in the western hemisphere, on the earth.....lol

    they are pushing teachers salarry's up by 1k each year...not much, but it can do...a bitimage

  • UiruruUiruru Member Posts: 984

    Here is what I think:

    Ok I agree that teachers salaries should go up, but the problem is that if they do that then they will need to raise taxes.  In solution to this and alot of other things, I think that we should cut spending by huge amounts.  We should cut money for welfare and unemployment back and then take that and start a government agency to find jobs for people.  I know what you are thinking... there is already a system like this in place well I think that it really blows, they are overwelmed.  What they should do is hire some of the unemployed people to work in the unemployement office!!!  Another thing is that the people on unemployment should be given a certain amount of foodstamp-like stamps that they can spend on things like rent and food so that they dont go and piss it on drugs and gambling.  And Just one more thing we should do is cut back huge amounts of money going to help other countries.  I agree that sending help to other countries is a good noble gesture, but I think we need to fix our own country first before we send over billions of dolors to help other countries.  I know it sounds a little could blooded but I really think that we are wasting alot of this money because the people that need it dont even see any of it half the time... Anyway, just a few unrelated thoughts...  imageimageimageimageimageimage
