    Teachers for sure. Highly educated people providing a service that’s absolutely crucial for everybody and they’re paid like shit even before you consider the number of out-of-work hours they end up working.

      That may only be western teachers. One of my family has been living in Sweden and teaching yr5 (only) for about 22 years. I’m pretty sure

      • the state pays for supplies, but I know she doesn’t
      • she pretty much has the lesson plan set, with some evolution each year
      • swedish kids aren’t total assholes as they have support for some of the big causes of assholish kids (unaddressed learning issues)
      • she’s good to retire in three years. Already has a little boat!

      She got her ticket in Canada and bounced around a bit until she landed this gig. Couldn’t be happier for her.

        Unfortunately not a more universal experience :( here in the UK teachers are treated like crap

      It’s the worst of all angles… Professions where the professional loves the work and wants to do the work no matter what get exploited more than most AND with public school teachers, they’re stuck with taxpayer decided budgets…

      As far as America goes: I WANT EVERYTHING AND I DON’T WANT TO PAY TAXES FOR IT!

          $7,000k? Is that $7,000 or $7,000,000? 7,000 thousand?

              That makes sense.

                I don’t type good sometimes when I’m on the go and I make things redundant. In this case it even changed the meaning. I tried to go edit my comment but I got back a 500 error
