There are LOTS of folks in Oklahoma working a lot more hours for a lot less pay......not saying that is necessarily good, it is just a fact. Yes, I know teachers have a higher education degree, but I have often wondered.....do we really want folks teaching our kids that weren't smart enough to figure out salary potential of their intended profession before getting a degree?? Did they not think about what they would earn before spending 4 years getting that degree?? Another thought....Could we quit building multimillion dollar school sports facilities and use that money to actually educate students?? [/QUOTE]
