This needs to be done in the public sector immediately. I find it insane that school administration are making over $150k a year and teachers are making over 100k a year. By me the superintendent is making the same as a US Senator. > > For teachers it should be cap’ed at $80k and admin $100k.

And to continue where you left off there it seems that some of the most highly pad teachers are elementary school teachers. I mean $100k for 6 month of “advanced baby sitting” is a little unreasonable. What might also have a positive turn is to lower the age for retirement or set an universal age for forced retirement. people working in unions for over 40 years are making a ton more than if the union hired a rookie out of college and honestly what they learned 40 years ago is alot lees than what the new kid fresh out of college knows --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/growth-down-to-1-6-economy-chat-itt/254264)._
