At least I'm not pushing papers as a medical biller (which I have done!). <BR/>Plus I'm about to get a week off. I can live with that. I do constantly remember that we have it so much better than 90% of the world. At least I have a budget for food, and it is available.Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614043043842014439.post-36200637650807421322008-09-30T08:05:00.000-10:002008-09-30T08:05:00.000-10:00amen.amen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462586263538635613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614043043842014439.post-92133277562573979792008-09-30T03:38:00.000-10:002008-09-30T03:38:00.000-10:00agreed on all accounts. it's unbelievable to me th...agreed on all accounts. it's unbelievable to me the people at tony's company who make so much money for not doing anything half as useful or necessary as teaching.siennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369259032337015704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614043043842014439.post-85386555673076235862008-09-30T02:06:00.000-10:002008-09-30T02:06:00.000-10:00I know it's not much, but I think it's awesome tha...I know it's not much, but I think it's awesome that you are teaching. Gratitude doesn't pay the bills though. What a shame that our government doesn't place education very high on the funding list.Arronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706156120746064492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614043043842014439.post-56334186708386701252008-09-29T23:08:00.000-10:002008-09-29T23:08:00.000-10:00I know what you mean. My wife and kids do too. I...I know what you mean. My wife and kids do too. I work three jobs and come home late in the evening so that my wife can stay at home and be a mom to our two kids. It's exhausting. But I tell myself, there are many other people out there doing more than me to survive. But it still doesn't make it easier to understand how all that education (including the post-bac stuff too) doesn't allow me to support my family. There are many days I've said, I'm trading in my gradebook for a hammer and nails, but I haven't taken that plunge yet.<BR/><BR/>....and we wonder why we can't keep teachers?Ikaika P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12926715905166278693noreply@blogger.com
