Gregory's Server@scottsantens I was a community college professor for thirty years. I worked because I was doing valuable work. I did not work because I got paid. I got paid FOR doing good work. Money never motivated me, and most teachers feel the same way. It’s the administrators who are driven by money because of the obscene and disproportionate amounts they don’t earn, just like CEOs. The fourth claim is utter bullshit.

@mav @scottsantens I understand and respect your experiences. Everything was good for me until approximately the last 5-10 years. I became depressed, suicidal, and had to get a lawyer. Time to leave, and I did so with no regrets 2.5 years ago. |

I did that job for a decade, too, and god, it's a real soul crusher. I got paid for work, but none of it was ever good. I did about two and a half jobs for one terrible salary, spent a lot of time feeling like an utter failure, and I'm a lot happier person for having left it.
It's an incredibly difficult job and I have nothing but respect for the people who do it, because schools will try and crush you flat.
