that’s just for the ADM 🤣

 

I’m sure there’s nuance as your post alluded to. The statistics don’t breakdown the degrees among teachers, their tenure, etc. A cop in Wisconsin and a cop in California make vastly different amounts of money, so I’m sure there’s a similar discrepancy amount those in education. While admittedly anecdotal, every tenured professor I know makes a healthy income.


It’s not about agreeing with me or not. This isn’t a matter of “my” opinion versus anybody else’s. I’m not the one running the focus groups, among the analysts and financial advisors who come up with the lists of career fields most likely to produce a millionaire, etc. (…and just about every list I’ve seen throughout the years, regardless of source, has teachers on there somewhere). The statistics over an average are what they are.

 

My point exactly. It’s not that hard to be a millionaire by way of a combination of property assets, financial investments, pensions, 401k’s, 457b’s, financial savvy, etc.

 

The majority of teacher across the U.S do not make great money. But they weren't who I was referring to. I mentioned " Paras, ( The ones who only work with special ed kids on a 1:1) Teacher Aid's, Kitchen Staff, Janitorial, Office works and security"
These people work just as hard as teachers, and yet they get paid much less then teachers. These people need to work hard at their job every single day, because they're not tenured. Most of these people are being paid at or below the poverty line. It's disgusting. These are not Millionaires, These are people that will need to get another part time job after they retire just so they can survive. They're not "Living beyond their means" They're just barely making it. How is that fair? Together They're the backbone of the education system, pushing forward for the next gen. Yet they're forgotten about. It's not right.

 

The Majority of teachers that are working in the public education system don't have "property assets". They may have one property but they don't have multiple

 

I'll assume that the millionaire teacher idea was perpetuated by Dave Ramsey and his "think tank" Ramsey Solutions. It was a self-reported study of 10,000 people, which doesn't bode well for the quantifiable results, but whatever. He was asked whether those self-reported numbers were due to teachers marrying high earners and the question was dismissed. If there is a study other than that which shows this data, I'm all ears. It sure makes for a nice story, though.

 

You’re parsing. One property is still a property asset. Nonetheless, we can move on from it.

 

Agree!

 

Made me think of me.

 

Does anyone know the fastest time to order a 911GT3RS?

 

 

My profession is baiting people into stupid arguments on the Internet when they should be outside washing their car or driving it or going for a walk or ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE THE INTERNET OR A PHONE.

lol - see my double entendre?

 

I would love to see how many teachers that teach in the public sector that have a Million dollar property.

 

Who says We're not on a walk right now?
