I was referring to the average 1st year teacher in Seminole County, Fla...Of course, this depends on the subject that they would be teaching....I have a great deal of admiration for teachers (a profession that now needs to wear a bullet-proof vest to work), and I think that a jobs pay should be equal to what that job is worth to society....An Orange County deputy sheriff (who lays his life on the line) has a starting pay of $31,000 a year...An unskilled employee working the grill at a fast-food restaurant 40 hours a week will make the same thing...Hmm!...I'll say no more!

We have senior kindergarten teachers making 90K a year plus tremendous pensions....unlike any other public service job. And yes, if the college bound prefer, let them flip burgers at $15.00 per hour....the people who work hard at those jobs can't even make a living wage and often are on public assistance, at no fault of their own. They deserve $15.00 per hour!
