Hi Don,
My family is full of teachers. My mother-in-law and my wife were
teachers. Three daughters and three sons in law are teachers. Two
granddaughters are entering teacher college in the fall. I am sure you
realize that I have heard this pitch before - but think of how many higher
paid people don't love their jobs. Money just makes their misery
comfortable.
Don
