RIDICULOUS SALARIES
Average police officer's
annual salary: $48,210
They risk their lives daily,
to save the lives of innocent people.
If you divide by 365 days in a year,
that's $132 a day.
Average elementary school teacher's
annual salary: $40,063
We teach kids to read. And write. And do math.
And, increasingly, how to be
a productive citizen
(since a lot of kids are getting
less of that at home.)
Divided by 365, that's $109 a day.
Average NBA player's
annual salary: $5,150,000.
They're paid to play 82 games a year.
They're paid to play games.
That's $14,109 a day.
And they're on strike because
their salary might drop by 5%.
Poor things will only be left with
$4,892,500 per year.
Only $14,000 more
per day than teachers.
How will they live on only
$59,664 per game?
Do they realize that they will still
make more for ONE of their 82 games
than a police officer or a teacher
makes for an ENTIRE YEAR?
Aren't they embarrassed to be
mad about that salary cut?
I know they have
special athletic talents
that most people don't have.
I get that.
But how many lives
have they saved?
How many kids
have they taught to read?

I have often said that teachers should be the highest paid profession around-- but also one of the hardest professions to ENTER! We are training the next generation. As you mentioned, we are molding the very essence of our future citizens. Ugh... I will stop now. :)
