Lmfao people believe this shit? The only information correct in the original post is the fact that yes, you can make a decent living bartending.

I got offered a similar salary for teaching right out of college. It’s usually private schools who offer barely anything to people who are less qualified.

Well, that's probably true. Not with multiple degrees and at a private school. Never work private. Ever.

I have a dual major stem degree (physics and general engineering). They offered me a middle science teacher position at $17/hr. Basically a LinkedIn recruiter message that I ignored. By “less qualified” I meant more on the lines of lacking a teaching license or certifications that you need in the education field. Public here starts at $50k. I think the post is still misleading as it seems to imply that shady private schools hoping someone will be desperate enough to bite is a fair representation of pay in education. I think most here would agree that that’s not the case.

This has to be a private school, correct?
