This. People crap on teacher pay but as a single male in comparison to other black men, I’m like top 20% in income. Maybe higher. :yeshrug:
Same (not a teacher though)I make more than about 75%~80% of people within my age group (regardless of skin color) across the nation.
I don't feel particularly special though.I just worked hard, got picked up by a huge corporation and since then my salary has increased steadily over the past two years.

STEM can change your life brehs, no joke.

And if you actually enjoy working with young people there are few more enjoyable professions. People be sleeping on teaching forreal.
Exactly. I love working with young people but I’m about done with the classroom. :francis:

I did my part for society.

What do you teach and how old are you students?

What kind of math is on the exam to become a teacher and is it difficult?

Just tryna weigh my options

In Transportation? I couldn't tell you specifically if you're talking about shyt like IT. But the owner of my company contracts with a Black-owned IT company and they do all the wiring and troubleshooting in our office. And we're not all that big. I don't know what those jobs are called on shyt like Indeed.

And that's not going to change moving forward. Especially on the medical side. Uber has come into medical transportation so that'll be a whole other division that'll need tech savvy people because of the growing integration between technology and the day to day operations in these transportation companies. You'd be surprised at how behind the times alotta these companies are. Not only that, it seems that there are alotta opportunities to start your own company and if you're competent get up and running and profitable for relatively little money, again, especially on the medical side. I'm kinda looking into that now. And if you go into it with a background in tech I promise you'll have an advantage over a good part of the industry from what I've seen.

Now if you're talking jobs in transportation in general, you can look anywhere. I got potnas that are conductors for railroads, truck drivers turned truck owners, mgt at different companies, etc. In every city I've been in I've seen Black people in every position from the lowest entry position to sr management in the transportation industry. And I've worked at the airport here, a large paratransit company, and like I said I'm working with a Black owned NEMT company now.

I thought trucking was gonna be taken over by automation? Or are you saying to do that and get out quick into some other shyt?

Imma look into this thank you.

Yeap retail will humble you.You clean up a spot and some motherfukker who does not even buy shyt will mess things up.But you know who has it just as hard if not worse?
Cleaners.I feel for the men and women who have to clean up public toilets.I have more respect for the guy who sweeps the street over the guy who is wearing the suit and heading to wall street.
First job I ever had was cleaning buildings with my dad when I was 12. He paid me $5 day and I loved it. He would drive cabs all day then clean buildings at night. Taught me and my brother the importance of hustling and providing.

I'm a boss now because of the ethos my dad instilled in me.

Yeah, but I grew up seeing my dad working multiple jobs to pay the bills. Coming in at 2:30 after 8 hours putting his clothes to work his second job because the money he made at one job could not pay all the bills. He moved to the U.S at 40 years old.
One of the reason I take studying very seriously (well my folks emphasized education early on) and am always studying in demand skills because I know how tough it is out there. I grocery shop late and see people doing soul crushing jobs I just go home to focus on bettering myself.
Facts. Damn near my story exactly. My dad came here with like $100. Enrolled in college. Took out massive school loans and put it in the streets.

I teach math at an alternative high school. The math exam covers everything. From basic math to calculus.

My thing is, I didn’t put that person there, so don’t give me attitude. If I walk in a fast food spot(:gag:) and treat you with respect, please do the same.

Wouldn’t worry about automation in the trucking industry for awhile. And keep in mind transportation is a global industry. Air, ground, and sea.

Good luck.
