Lemme get this out: while I more than appreciate the work performed by teachers, police, and firefighters, I dont appreciate them throwing the fact they do that job in my face.
We dont live in a communist country where jobs are assigned according to intellect or bulk. Police officers and firefighters werent drafted. If you chose to be one, I applaud you but that being said, that doesnt mean you get to tell us how much you get paid because you chose a job that potentially puts your life in peril. If its not worth the risk, I wouldnt blame you at all if you walked, but this job safety-guilt trip shit is starting to fall on deaf ears.
As for you teachers, Im tired of hearing how long you studied and how much it cost to get your degree so you could be a teacher. If thats the case, its not all about the kids (as you constantly say before you walk out on them to go protest wages) but the career you wanted to get out of it. Granted, taking care of someone elses brats cant be all that rewarding, but you still get the summer off paid, almost all extended holidays paid, professional or development days paid, health, dental, tenure, and even a retirement package paid for.
Yet when you feel you havent been paid enough, you just demand more money from taxpayers, some of whom dont even have kids (but have to deal with the defective product teachers leave us with).
Its at the point where I really dont care if youre a cop, firefighter, teacher, or professional athlete. YOU chose that profession. YOU chose to accept the risks and perils that come with those professions, and YOU knew what the job paid when you applied and for all the ads the unions will put out over the next few months, complete with smiling union workers, Ill tell you what footage was never shot and will never be in one of the upcoming ads: union workers saying thank you to the community after the latest property tax override and/or tax increase.
