I'm not a traveling quack currently, but it is my future goal.

No worries I have no plan on moving to Alaska. You'll be free to not receive the services that aren't available.

Thanks for your concern, but on the rare occasions I need medical care, I get it elsewhere. If you had any reading comprehension skills, you'd already know that.

Make sure my hot chocolate has a good shot of Kahlua and a splash of Irish Cream.

Natives of Alaska being referred to as ... Alaska Natives - by Alaska News. Someone better tell them this is unacceptable and to refer to them as Samoan or something.

BS ... free health care deluxe in addition to a $44K entry salary to a $94K top salary in some of the lowest performing schools in the nation.

Well I disagree but it certainly does not matter. My point was a RN has the same education and probably some more, actually provides a valuable service and makes about 1/2 that of a "teacher" .... that is pitiful.

I do not believe that teachers work "about 180 days a year" to start with. I think it is closer to 160 days a year if that that is actually worked. It is a stretch to claim 8 hours work a day as well. Once you have the curriculum and your outline it is virtual auto pilot.

AVERAGE teacher salary is $64 - $70K/year ... some as high as $94.

Take the middle which is $67,000 / 160 / 7 = $59.82/hr. on the check.

Free health care for entire family ... that cost me for a deluxe plan about $1200/month. Pissed off days no work, sick days, pension (yea I know you think you pay for it but not even close).

What do you think they do on those other 20 days of required instruction?

I think all of your stats are wrong. RN's make more per year than a teacher in Alaska, on average, mostly because they work more hours. Teachers, in most cases, do make more per hour, but definitely not double that of an RN.
