$39K for a first-year teacher is pretty good when you consider that a first-year architect in NYC makes about $32K. You can add about $10K with a Master's...but with the average architecture Master's program in the area being around $800/credit, the loans start adding up. Also, unlike a M.Ed, a M.Arch is full-time and it's pretty damned hard to work even part-time while working on that degree.

But, my friends and I aren't complaining...because we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
Supposedly teachers in long island are entitled to expensive houses in long island. This only applies to teachers though. The cab driver aren't allowed to have houses.

Now again. The market determines how much you're worth. If you have a union that value of worth is inflated. And if you are working in a sweatshop or somewhere that you don't have full rights, then your value is deflated. If anything, people that work in sweatshops can say they deserve more.
