I was speaking to someone out in the midwest and her company offers 3 weeks right off the bat and then increases as years go on. That's better than what I get.

I usually burn out on Sunday night when I realize..it's Sunday night.
 
I took a look at that link (above) of salaries. I never noticed how many of my kids teachers drive Brand new Beemers and other fancy rides. I always thought of this town as more blue collar.
 
Just because the town is, doesn't mean the teachers are...
Now you know why school taxes are so high on LI.

Isn't the norm around 6 weeks vacation (holiday) in Europe?

It varies a lot. I used to think that the Italians and French seemed to get the most; followed by the Scandanavian social paradises, but maybe I was wrong:

Seems when I was in Italy and France they all disapeared for the whole month of July.

Note that these are the minima, and that some companies can be more generous, but I don't have the averages to hand. These are also entitlements, but it seems they're not enforced and that many Britons don't take all the days they're due. Some survey found that only about 40% of managers take the time off to which they're entitled.
 
Taxes are over 10 and I know where you are alana it's ridiculus. My moms are around 30.

Where does the US fall on that days off list?
 
My taxes are a bit less than 30k, but not much. School tax here is 16k and change, so teachers pleading poverty isn't cutting it up here, sorry.

Even in Westchester, $100k is a living wage for 9 months work, especially since most get extra by teaching classes in the summer.

Da Missus wasn't earning close to that with a tech degree, 10 years experience and commuting 90 minutes each way to the city.
 
I'm too tired and sick tonight to get into this again! I think instead I'll have a whiskey and coke (O.K. a few) and move into a state of denial and oblivion! :thirsty:
 
Skip the coke - it's full of empty calories.
Ethanol = good. Soda = bad.

Besides, both the OP and I are talking about NY.
Don't take it personally.

At least your car runs...

edit: for the computer geeks and OR people:

ethanol == good;
soda == bad;

maximize (ethanol | ethanol in me : I'm drunk but coherant) && minimize (soda | soda in drink : drink still tastes good);
 
:grouphug:
 
The last job I had that offered paid vacation and sick leave was in 1989. I can get holiday pay, but I have to work the day before and after any given holiday.
 
The company I work for is decent. I think I get two weeks (after 13 years) Vacation and probably about another weeks worth of Paid holidays.
 
...oh and my wire just tells me that at the end of the school year, the teacher takes all the extra's home. Paper towels, wipes, tissue, and whatever leftovers they have.
