Kasz, are you talking about college profs? To my knowledge the preschool through 12th teachers hardly get paid livable wages. At least in my state. They tend to be forced to live in trailers and have to work a second job as a grocery store bagger or bar tender. Despite the fact that they are required to have a college degree.

The universities here are suffering pretty bad though. They can't even make the ends meet after cutting all the unnecessary stuff. The students who are required to live on campus the first year are living in really poor conditions as it is.

Its odd, I wasn't in college that long ago and everything was great then, but they started making serious cuts the year after I dropped out.

90,000 a year is for your average cleveland school teacher K-12.

Not sure what state you live in or how your union is... South maybe?

The teachers union in a lot of states though make a killing and everyone ignores what the students need.

The average pay for a teacher is somthing like 44,000 not counting benfits which are usually very hefty.  Your state is likely an abnormality.
