Teachers are widely under-appreciated in America, both in how little respect they receive AND in how little they are compensated for their deeds. If kids are our future, we should take care of the people grooming them for the future, right? Well, the average starting salary for a teacher is around $45,000. There are much more lucrative (albeit superfluous) professions out there, let’s examine a few.
1) Hot Air Balloon Pilot – $50-60k
2) Tollbooth Worker – $46-50k
3) Butler – $47-55k
4) Radio DJ – $50-65k
5) Pro Skateboarder – $50-100k
6) Bull Rider – $100-500k
7) Truck Driver – $45-60k
8) Stripper – $50-150k
9) Dog Walker – $50/hour
10) Pro Bowler – $45-50k
11) House Sitter – $50-60k
12) Crop Duster – $70-80k
13) Food Tester – $47-55k
14) Clown – $50-60k
Teachers do a valuable service for the community and the world at large. It is time that we start paying them at least as much as clowns, even if those clowns are in clown college debt. Share this post if you agree!
