Oh, bull. I live in New York City and believe me with rent and food, $100 bucks a week (that’s pretax in a highly taxed city) was starvation wages.

So you have to work a second job in summer! You chose to teach school so why complain?

And I choose to live in Texas where my money is actually worth something. Apparently we ‘pampered youngsters’ are willing to give up the amenities unlike our elders.

I’m correcting your statement that young people are expecting 60k a year fresh out of school. Personally, I’d be wealthy off half that here in Texas. I can understand why someone living in New York city would think otherwise. ;)
