"But deserving of a better salary than someone who didn't go to college? Hell yes."
There I'll stand with you, jerseygirl. You don't have to have a college education to serve the public and be deserving of a good living wage. To me it is more about the service itself. It is possible to work one's way up without the education.
In the end, I think we can all agree that public service people aren't looking to make a killing. They just want a fair wage.
I will confess that the name-calling and weirdly-skewed sense of entitlement some posters are putting out is off-putting to this non-college-attending person, though.

"And ghostlight, I completely understand what Jason is TRYING to say. The point is that over and over his way of phrasing it is ridiculous and adding fuel to the growing fire of attitudes toward the general population of teachers. As always, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. The ones making goofy comments are being used as an example of all the teachers, which couldn't be further from the case. As an educator, one should be more aware of how something will be taken.
I won't argue that at all. As I said above, not all teachers are good writers, and I'll add that obviously, not all teachers are good teachers. None of that changes my belief that Christie is wrong, dead wrong here."
