Instead of getting mad af someone else's begter paying job, maybe work to improve your own?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And this isn't always possible. In fact it commonly isn't. I do agree the people who don't do anything and complain is stupid but many jobs don't have any opportunity for more and you become stuck.

Then find something else, expand your skill.

If everyone did that, those jobs would have to change or nobody would do them.

Live your life for yourself, not for others.

So... teachers should all just quit and become finance bros or programmers. Because fuck the youth amiright?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Correct. If they all quit, the system has to change.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Or, perhaps it would be the system working exactly as intended. Depends on how you look at it.

The market for teachers has been fucked for a WHILE in most places and it still hasn't changed enough, in the US

Teachers that do it solely for the pay, yeah, totally, plus it would generate much needed pressure to improve things.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

There is a teacher shortage right now. The supposed pressure to improve things comes from where again? Who is going to be on a megaphone, chanting about poorly educated youth? Who gives a shit about illiterate, poor, people, except the manipulative assholes who get rich taking advantage of them?

Personally I believe the state wants poorly educated citizens They spend lots of money on stupid shit. They take pride in working several low paying jobs, poor Healthcare, poor infrastructure. Basically, poor, uneducated people are perfect slaves. Why do you think it was illegal to teach slaves to read?

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, eh?
