> Even in Philadelphia Public Schools, the starting salaries are enormous Really? That's news to me. My mom is a Special Ed teacher in the Philadelphia Public School system. She's been teaching for a while, some of it in Catholic School, yet a significant number of years in public schools, and I felt awefully funny making the same amount of money as her yearly, for my first job after graduating college (and I make significantly less than the average for web developers in this area). Kinda not really "fair", considering I am basically doing web stuff to make a company richer, while my mom is helping make the lives of autistic, learning disabled, etc kids better. Oh and I don't have to worry about non-supportive parents and misbehaving kids. I generally don't have to worry about people sneaking weapons in here, or walking out into my parking lot after work to find my car gone, or broken into. And there aren't drug dealers on the block in Delaware County where I get to work, or shootouts in the area. Yaay! Luckily now she's gotten the opportunity to teach in a nicer area (the Northeast.) -- kevin mudrick // kevin@furhurts.com gpg fingerprint: 5E00 FCDF 79E4 2FEB 629C AA16 2E0B B526 8DAC 6BEA Attachment:
