WE ARE THE 1 PERCENT

.
We are the 1 percenters. We worked hard to get here. Now people want to disrupt our work and take our money because they do not have what we have. We are the students who studied hard for our exams and made useful things during our free time. We are the ones who saved money instead of buying luxuries. We are the ones who invest in companies so that they have money to hire people like you. We do not blame the government, investors, and others for our problems. If we do not have a job, then we go out and learn useful skills, and find a job that needs someone with those skills. Or we create our own job and work for ourselves. We don't waste time whining about our problems. We go out and solve them.

I applaud you for getting a teaching degree. I have much respect for people who choose to teach others while taking a small pay. It’s a sacrifice, I know. Your best bet is to take a side job while you’re teaching. That should make up for the rest of your income. Good luck, and thanks for making the sacrifice. If I could, I’d pay teachers more… (oh wait, that’s called private school).
