In 2022, 31-year-old Maggie Perkins quit her eight-year teaching job and got a job at Costco. She doesn’t regret the decision, and she’s never been happier. Here’s a look at a day in the life working at Costco.
You are not paid for summers. This is a very common misconception. You essentially agree to give them an interest free loan every paycheck and they give you that money back during the summer as a “service” to you. And usually you are spending that time doing professional development or a second job.
Actually, 2/3rds. If she’s earning 50% more, that means the previous wage was 100 and now is 150. 100 / 150 is 0.6666… or 66.66%, 2/3rds.
Sorry for the pedantism, but it’s the kind of math that needs to be correct to avoid misunderstandings.
Still an awfully sad thing, tho. Teachers should be paid the same as doctors, IMHO.
Aaaand the fact that a correction on this was even relevant… Oof
