      I cant teach without a degree

      laughs in Oklahoman

      I’m so glad I went 40k into a job that expects me to spend $1000/yr to fund my own classroom, and also is basically illegal as a trans person now, and now effectively requires no qualifications at all.

      Well yeah obviously there are exceptions for that. But for your 08/15 office job you don’t actually need a degree if you look at the job routines. Employers just often require one to limit the number of applicants, I guess?

        Right. Im just saying getting a degree that actually makes you employable is still worth it. People are really down on secondary education but its not all just useless.

      You’re right, but teachers are paid less than non-degreed positions so that’s not really a great counterpoint.
