Lies my teachers told me.

When I was in school, my teachers told me, "You don't want to be a teacher. It's the worst job. Go get a college education, work in a big company and be successful."

Lie #1 - It's a terrible job. - They work 9 months out of the year for $80,000. Who else gets 3 months off a year but teachers? And they get a government pension of 80%!! That's $64,000/year, AND all the teachers I know retire in their mid-50s.

Lie #2 - Get a college education - Why? The St. Louis Post Dispatch did a story that said the difference in pay for blue-collar workers vs. white collar workers was $2/hour. That's $4000/year.

Guess what you get to use that extra $4000/year for...
