But you seem to think that new young grads are ENTITLED to do it the way you did. NONE of my friends’ children was able to afford their own place upon graduation, and NONE of my friends were either. (Actually, one was - but that was after law school.)
It is most common for young people just starting out to have to share. If some don‘t have to, great for them. But teachers shouldn’t feel ENTITLED to be paid enough to do so right out of the starting gate, when young adults getting jobs in corporate America (me), scientific organizations (my dad), and my sibling (also corporate) had to share.
Why do you think young teachers, who only work 10 months a year, deserve to live better than other college grads who work year-round?
Do those college grads work 60 hours a week and additional hours sometimes on weekends for that 10 month period, plus attend college at night to get their Master's degree? No? There is your answer!
