I appreciate what firefighters do. I really really do. However, they are definitely NOT underpaid. At least not where I live. Here, they make a decent living AND they get to retire — some as early as age 50 — with very generous taxpayer guaranteed pensions. Just sayin’.

I agree about the nurses being underpaid. Nurses deserve to be paid more with the kind of job they are doing – caring for the sick is service.

You keep saying three months summer vacation for teachers. I also coach two sports and therefore work everyday in the summers just like a lot of others. I have 3 preps and get 3 planning blocks every two weeks. During the season I work 7 days a week and over 80 hours for the week. I make about 41,000 k. Is that not underpaid? The idea that teachers have all this time off completely wrong.

Maybe I’ll include them in the next update, Joe. So how much do oil field workers make an hour? If you say anything over $20 per hour, you’ll definitely be out of luck.

what about oil field workers?! we work our asses off so everyone else can have the luxeries they do. this website wouldnt be working right now if it werent for the services we put in. the only reason it seems like we make a little bit is because we work 300 hrs every two weeks leaving behind family friends relationships kids spouses and “lives”. I hardly ever get to see my wife and son but at the same time take pride in what i do cuz i make sure everyone else gets to enjoy them instead.

Yes, I agree with Meg. Teachers need to be paid more and appreciated more. They need to be compensated for doing what I think is a very important and delicate job – molding the minds and lives of their students.
