<p>BTW, median incomes do not come close to telling the real story. If you take a normal town, you have to consider there are 2 things. Young people who are just starting out on their own, and old people who have retired and don’t have a job income. Both of these groups of people don’t make a lot of money. By taking those away, and looking at people who have college aged children, who are probably in their late 40s through 50s and in the prime of their careers, I’m sure you’ll find the income for THAT bracket to be what I described to be “middle class.”</p>
<p>Even in a public school in a nice town, if you teach for around 20 or so years, you’re making atleast 70,000 or 75,000. If you teach from when you get out of college till you’re 50, thats about 27 28 years. I’m sure you’re making even more then that. If both of your parents are teachers thats 150,000 or more right there. Its really not that hard to make what i described for a household.</p>
