I’m so glad I went 40k into a job that expects me to spend $1000/yr to fund my own classroom, and also is basically illegal as a trans person now, and now effectively requires no qualifications at all.
Well yeah obviously there are exceptions for that. But for your 08/15 office job you don’t actually need a degree if you look at the job routines. Employers just often require one to limit the number of applicants, I guess?
Right. Im just saying getting a degree that actually makes you employable is still worth it. People are really down on secondary education but its not all just useless.
Ah yes, I am referring to US teachers. The median pay is around $40K, which is sad because I was making that right out of high school and by the time I reached my 40s I was making right at $70K without a degree.
You say that, but as someone currently looking for work using connections and 10 years of experience, I suspect that over 50% of my applications are rejected due to lack of a degree.
Depends in the field. I’m currently getting a masters that is not useful for the actual job at all, but is legally required for me to move up to the next position.
Connections and work experience are all that matter.
Im a teacher. I cant teach without a degree. No amount of connections will change that.
I suppose so.

I live in a first world country so things are different here.

You’re right, but teachers are paid less than non-degreed positions so that’s not really a great counterpoint.
Lol. Maybe in the US. My pay is great.

I think the market is just poor right now also. I feel like we are nose diving into another recession
