[@somuchfortalent]

@@whitebroccoli694 Large dip? Costco will start you at $17/hr and bennies after 90ish days I think. What's a first year public school teacher making in a typical school? $38,500 - $40,000? So about $6,000 difference? Then factor in taxes, he's probably no worse than he was teaching if Costco took him on fulltime.

[@whitebroccoli694]

@@somuchfortalent you’re not factoring in the two months that teachers have off over the summer when many get jobs. Two months of summer work is an extra $4,000 so a starting teacher is probably making 10k more per year than a person starting at Costco. Add in the fact that teachers end up making 80k after twenty years of working there is more potential.
