In order to be a preferred customer, you have to order so much a month. Other than that, the products are good. Are Teachers Over Paid?05 Jan 2007 08:41 PM OK, I can't help but respond to this one. I am a 34 year old teacher. I make $41,000 a year to "work my buns off." I have $30,000 in college debt and am required to attend more and more workshops every year. To start teaching, you have to have a Bachelor's degree plus your credentials that can be $10,000-$15,000 more than your degree. I teach high school and it is becoming more and more dangerous every year. Teachers in inner cities like Los Angeles make an average of $37,000 a year. On top of all of that, we pay so much out of our pocket for supplies. I am sure there are teachers out there that make way too much money. That may be a problem within a certain district. Maybe I will feel differently by the time I make that kind of money but for now, I feel like I work hard for my money and don't make enough. By the time I pay my mandatory union dues and retirement, I bring home less than $2700 a month. Then, minus my supplies and I really don't make as much as one would think! Does E-mail Eat up Your Work Day?05 Jan 2007 08:29 PM I remember when I was first starting out in the business world, email was just getting big. Now, I honestly don't think I can live without it. I not only rely on it for business, I rely on it for personal use as well. I am constantly emailing family and friends in order to keep in touch. Amazing to think that we used to actually write this stuff by hand! 1 2 |
