    I have some kids and it’s incredibly bittersweet listening to them talk about the little art and music they create. They talk about painting pictures and making songs, being able to live in a nice house while doing that for a living.

    Nope, have to be STEM, a nurse, a teacher, or learn a trade, kiddo. All those other degrees are fucking worthless and won’t get you a decent job.

      Teacher isn’t going to make them much money and most don’t last more than 6 years.

        Depends on the district. Most public school teachers in blue states and suburbs make a decent living.

          I live in a blue district and the teachers make just barely a living wage, so not great.

            For starting pay? The teachers on every district around me make 75k+ a year once they finish five years and get their required master’s. When they get their masters +40 looking at low six figures.

            I don’t even live in a big city. People need to look at the entire pay scale and not just that first year.

              The point is that not everyone lives where you do.
