But I don’t want to hustle 16-hour days to make it. I want to be at peace and keep teaching kids.
I am leaving the job because it doesn’t pay enough though. Rent for a studio in the city I work for would consume more than 50% of my income. They need people to teach their kids, but I’m priced out of the very city I serve.
The world has enough resources already produced to feed, clothe, and house every person on earth. What’s the point of working yourself ragged just so you can have what is already available sitting somewhere unused.

Your anger is exactly what women feel. Why do men get more for the same amount of work?
