Government jobs and retirement benefits are the greatest financial ripoff in U.S. history. Most would be considered part-time jobs in private industry, especially administrators, teachers and firefighters.
Police, on the other hand, generally work 50 hours per week but get paid (overtime) for 60 hours. All retire with multi-million dollar annuities.
Totally f-ing ignorant of reality!
My son-in-law is a US government firefighter and made less money
than I did as a teacher, while risking his life daily.
How does one work 50 hours and get paid for 60? You just made that up because it sounded good in your head.
Ask these teachers how they like working from home. Better yet, many parents are discovering their offspring are the assholes the teachers told them about.
Multi-million? Let me give you a clue. Not even close! I worked 10 years and got $400 a month. Why? Incredibly crappy pay that the retirement is based upon. Now explain how that could possibly be "multi-million".
1. Is your son working in a regular full-time position? What is his annual salary? What was your annual salary as a teacher?
2. Have you ever heard of "overtime" pay?
2. What does working from home have to do with teachers' pay and benefits?
3. You claim that your salary was higher than your son's, yet it was still "
incredibly [sic] crappy pay." How much lifetime retirement do you think you deserve for only 10 years of work?
4. At the current annual interest rate of 1%, you would need $480,000 in the bank to generate $400 per month of retirement income. Most government retirees receive many times that amount. Do the math.
In California, police and firefighters can retire after 30 years at 90% of their final pay (
including "mandatory" overtime pay). This often exceeds what their "regular" rate of pay was!
In what state (of mind) do you live?
