[QUOTE="klmno, post: 344413, member: 3699"] I'm sure they're not wealthy, Nancy. But please trust me- I don't think like that woman you described. I've had a friend who went all the way thru the school system and know it's a very demanding job. And I understand where you are coming from- there is a profession that is somewhat related to mine and we have to work together, albeit our professions are different in specifics. They need a 4 year degree vs a minimum of 5 year, they can get their time in to take their licensing exam in less time and their licensing exam cost a few hundred dollars at most. They start out making twice as much as us- but I like my profession and chose it and knew I'd never be wealthy. In fairness, we make about the same by the time we have 25-30 years experience. In 1989 I started out with 6 mos experience, college educated, working and living in Seattle for $16,250 per year. Benefits? 1 week vacation, 7 paid holidays, and medication insurance. Being on salaray, I was not paid for the overtime hours that were expected and required. I realize that was a long time ago, but the rate these days I think is about 24,000 in the Difficult Child area and 20,000-22,000 in an average city. And they want the degree plus 1 year experience already but I don't know that they can always get that. [/QUOTE]
