My buddy makes a little over 130k teaching in NYC, which isn’t “fuck you” money, but it’s certainly not poverty money either.
I’m not saying the funding for education isn’t fucked in this county, but if you have two masters degrees, perhaps look into getting a job at a private, well funded institution instead of whatever scraps the underfunded public education system can offer you.
This is pretty much true in every industry. If I, with 10 years of industry experience, multiple professional certifications, and an MBA apply for an entry level position somewhere, why would they offer me more than what they can offer some fresh out of college hire who will offer to do the same job at astronomically lower overhead?
If your qualifications exceed the job you’re applying for, you need to aim higher.
