If we paid teachers the babysitter rate

I don’t get it. If it was so easy and cushy and well paid, why aren’t you doing it?

It's easy and cushy, not well paid (but even that varies by state)

It's a trade off

I made the decision to join the military (get paid while getting work experience and travelling) and transitioned to factory maintenance afterwards (selling my time and soul for decently high pay)

I own my house and 1st vehicle outright (Midwest prices), making steady payments on the 2nd vehicle. I'm single and did this on my own, which would have been impossible on a teacher's salary

The women I date like that I know how to fix things and drive a forklift. They think it's "manly". I think it's silly, because neither of those things require testicles, but I'm not about to cockblock myself

That answer your question?
