Being a teacher is horrible, my girl is a teacher and it's has even wrecked havoc on our relationship. She works as a teacher in a head start inclusion class. There are no jobs in real schools So shes only making 43k a year. Thus shes struggling badly with her student loans. Though partially her fault because her degree is special ed so if she applied for NYC board of ed she probably would have gotten a job. She only gets 2 weeks off in August. It's not even the kids that cause the trouble, it's the other staff. She had one teacher threaten her because one of the assistants said my GF said so and so about, which she didn't, when her supervisors came in about the situation, the assistant said my GF was just stressed out because of Hurricane Sandy. Shes had assistants steal from. Another one hit the kids. Supervisors that don't know or care. She at one point found a good job in Coney Island making 48k a year with yearly raises and a good staff, but the commute coming home was 2 hours. So yeah...being a teacher fukking sucks.
