If one of my kids decided to become a teacher I would be very
dissappointed.


Why is that? It's a good profession and the pay is okay. I have a friend
who's
making about 55K and has the summers off, or work summers and make 70K.
You can
do very well at some schools and if you're good at it you can really help
some
kids. I guess you can make more money other ways but you won't have the
emotional rewards.
I have great respect for teachers, firemen, policemen, nurses and EMTs and
so
on.

Well said, Bubbles. Donal, for some reason, believes teachers are not
worthy contributors to society. Or perhaps he believes they don't earn
enough to be respectable members of the population. He's wrong on either
count.
