Comment: Teachers aren't paid well?????

I believe I read that from you. Surely they make more than minimum wage, and have benefits and retirement and time off. Teachers I know are paid well.

Seems like you have certain expectations, and won't accept anything less.

I have an advanced degree, but hated my career, so gave it up and got a job at a warehouse 12 years ago for $8 an hour. Really liked it and now I'm running the place making a good salary.

We're always looking for people interested in working hard with a positive attitude. Surely there is someone in Floride thinking the same. If you are convinced things are hopeless, they will stay that way.

You seem resistant to suggestions. Perhaps you are genetically programmed to be negative, and will live with your folks until they're gone. If that's the reality your brain sees, its what you'll get.
