In my state janitors make $14/hour median. Not even a third of a first year kindergarten teacher.

That's not right but this meme is a tankie joke.

    Minimum wage is more than $14 an hour in my city in the US and you wouldn’t be able to find someone to do the job without paying twice that anyway.

    And? Does your comment have anything to do with what I pointed out or the meme?

    You shared your anecdote and I shared mine. Welcome to human interaction. We’re happy to have you here.

    Your anecdote is pointless without comparing it to the average teacher salary in your area.

    My bad. I'll be sure to keep all your favorite statistics on file next time sir. I'm only here to please you after all.

    You do understand that your anecdote wasn't relevant to the conversation, right?

    The person you responded to said that the minimum wage in their area was significantly less than the salary of a teacher because the post was about janitors making more than teachers.

    Your response was basically just one upping them, which contributed nothing.

    In normal human interaction, people would ask a follow up to that, to try to get you to explain how your interjection pertains to the topic at hand.

    Most people would then expand on their point, but you choose to be an ass instead.

    I realize that now. I’m so sorry. I’ll just fucking kill myself now. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.

    You're just off topic and being petty because you can't follow a thread 🤣. Skill issue.

    Rural SC, USA. And that depends on both the area(I've lived in an affluent part of SC and not), as well as the individual school districts. But "resource" level facilities employees are usually paid just above minimum wage. And part time and full time facilities workers I've seen have $20/hr+.

    Average teaching salary(not hourly, salary) is $50,178/yr. Which comes out to a bit over $24/hr. Now as I said that's salary. So unlike the facilities workers who are hourly, teachers don't get over time, often have to use their home time to supplement school time, regularly have to buy their own supplies, and the other items listed in the meme not the least of which is that student debt still equates to the trades and the like being a better option.

    But I'm sure having that degree and "shaping the future" makes up for it.
