[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 428223, member: 983"] The only ones making 60-70k have been doing it for 30 years and started out getting paid 20k a year. I worked my ass off in the “free” summers, which were about 6-7 weeks if I did my job right and stayed after and prepped before the year. I work with engineers hourly and don’t know one that ever made 50k….again maybe 30 years ago. Think of it this way. The consumer (taxpayers, parents, etc) all want the highest quality product for the lowest cost. The educational system producing this product has to use cheap labor and has no control of the quality of raw materials coming in. Would you expect any company to be successful in this model? An open checkbook won’t solve this, but given the parameters why would you expect any different result? Until parents are actually parents and it’s financially viable to teach, we will continue to see educational achievement erode. [/QUOTE]
