I worked in accounting for a massive international company. Most people I worked with had some sort of university education (I didn't, but most did), and just about everyone had some sort of side gig because they couldn't support their families otherwise. It's infuriating.
I know a bunch of teachers personally, they make a living wage here in my country, but even so it's just barely. they do it for the love of the teaching, there's no advancing really to be had either.
They put in a full work week and unpaid overtime with all the marking and designing tests, answering calls and emails from parents and so on.
And ontop of that work a second job is unthinkable to me.
In my country, teachers used to get a full pay, and had no need for a second job. Now, things are changing. Being a teacher has become such a lowly paid, unstable job, that our country currently has SHORTAGE of teachers. Nobody wants to teach anymore because they turned an important job into a job that is less valued and less stabled than a McDonald employee.
