Why do I make more money as an Elementary School Teacher than I did as a Journalist for a newspaper?

because your now part of one of the most powerful unions in the country.Where salaries and bennefits are cart blanc, iregardless if the tax base of the comunity you work in can afford it. Why do you think one of the biggest opponents of NYS governors property tax cap proposition, is the teachers union. Besides what other job offers full time pay and bennefits for only working 1/2 a year.
