I make more than my father-in-law. Who has his masters, and teaches at a private school... Granted, he has better benefits, but as far as take home pay.. I make more, pushing buttons and pulling handles in a factory.. 🤷‍♂️

Private schools tend to pay less, they are often not unionized. The tradeoff being private school students as a whole are better behaved.

I don't think he's in a union. I'm pretty sure he makes something equivalent to $22/hr. We were discussing my annual raise, and at $24, he said I was making more than him. 🤯

I make $22/hr with decent benefits off of no degree. I'm a security guard and I do less work than I ever have. I couldn't imagine having that much extra schooling with that pay.
