My manager made a 6 figure salary at kohls and I saw flyers at Aldi that they were hiring managers and starting salary was 50k . 🙊🙊 I was shocked, as a teacher only making 30k. I also noticed that too. The teachers that struggled were single and the teachers who had the nicest decorated classroom with fancy supplies had husbands. They didn't complain about the salary. They were working for fun cuz their husband's paid everything. I left right after the strike. I couldn't take it anymore 😪

[@yoloactual6975]

This is extremely positive and the sort of news I like to see. I grew up homeless in my early teens. Going to public school, it was extremely hard keeping my situation a secret. There was a level of shameful baggage that came with being homeless. Or atleast it felt that way. To worsen my situation, the state had a program that allowed me to attend any school I pleased, meaning they would go out of the way through the school system to ensure I was bused there. So I naturally chose the school I had already been attending prior to becoming homeless. Unfortunately that school only had 1 bus available that could make a route that far out of the way, and it was the "short" bus. So on top of the shame of being the homeless kid, there was the risk of other kids also believing I was mentally disabled in some way. A school like this one would have completely saved me from that stress and grief I felt as a young man knowing other people would look down on me if they ever found out.
