[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 435950, member: 2095"] Teachers used to be the jokes of the college educated world. What they were paid 10-20 years ago was laughable. Since then the teacher's unions have done a much better job of flexing muscles and influencing lawmakers. My school teacher Mother is in her 60s and SHOULD retire; but her pay is up in the mid 50s now and this year wipes out a much lower year in the average pay formula, thus she is staying on for a big increase her monthly pension benefit. You get full medical and retirement (there are 48 year olds drawing full pensions here in Alabama) for just 181 days of work and make $35,000, 45,000, eventually 55,000, (and MORE if you coach football). In short more than most farm managers are making. If you have your state teaching credentials, you would be better off taking a job in a rural county system (most of whom would kill for a competent male instructor) and be looking for land. A lot of absentee type farms/ranches would be overjoyed to give you housing for 10-20 hours of work a week and you make sure that their cows are not wandering the roads, that would not/could not hire a full time manager and provide insurance.
