This looks like a fun job (albeit a volunteer one)...

Volunteer? WTF?

I have rarely seen a volunteer job that requires you to work 40 hours a week.

What the hell are you susposed to do for a living?

 

[OSUsushichic]

It's called being a history major. :(

I totally went into the wrong field!

No kidding. It kind of forces you to go on to grad school in order to make a living.

It's hard to make a living even then.

Museums and archives pay squat. Publishing companies pay squat. And if you're a professor it's hard to find a job. You're kinda screwed all the way around.

You have to go to law school. :)

they don't call them internships for nothing.

Luckily engineering interships pay well.

I earned more money this summer as a student without a degree than my mother did after 27 years of teaching and a masters + hours

Did she teach in Catholic School?

Nope, Gahanna Lincoln.

Also, I meant what she would make in 1/4 of a year, since I worked 1/4 of a year.

Gotcha, I know teachers making nearly $80,000 with their Masters plus and nearly 30 years in.

Not to mention the benefits.

Of course I am also only considering base salary as interns don't great benefits.

Of course the point of my message was two things:
1. Go into engineering if you want a good paid internship
2. Teachers aren't paid enough for their efforts...well at least most.

Engineers deserve good money, they do something that most people can't do.

So do teachers. They also do something most people can't do.

I won't argue with you there.

Unfortunately the gap is widening such that many new teachers are complete boneheads compared to ones hired in years past.

There needs to be more attention given to this fact.
