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.

Friend of mine taught history in a New England High School. Told the admin's
he had to have a beard to do summer research then about May he'd let it be
known he planned to tour by motorcycle all summer and was looking for a
suitable passenger over 18. Did this for at least 10 years then took up
sailing. Not a bad life. New cutie every summer .....
