At guilderland high teachers definitely start at a decent salary. You’ve got to realize also the numbers your throwing out here don’t include the 3 months that they have off. MAny work as guidance counselors for camps or administrators, some make money by teaching summer school. My A/P teacher in high school was an RN, and my engineering teacher owned a scuba diving bussiness in lake george. You are in a union and you do recieve an anual raise. My econ teacher made almost 100k by the age of 50. Again screwing with education/healthcare are things i have big problems with.
I hate to say so but soon enough shits really going to hit the fan. China is like a young america but with many more people and a wider gap in wealth. Along with this comes much more poverty and to a greater extreme. Soon enough they’re going to demand more money for their cheaper goods. They will fall into the same slum as we are. The economy is honestly a joke, and i assure you its not what you see on tv. Its like pumping up a stock to inflate the prices. Then you sell before it crashes and leave everyone else with nothing. A few people will get amazingly rich off of china. Then it’ll be a thing of the past. Honestly get into health care or get good at short selling stocks while you still can lol.
