Dishwasher install technically requires a plumber and I don't see them riding around on delivery trucks all day so it makes sense it's an extra fee. There really isn't much (if anything) you can do in MA with regard to plumbing without a permit and licensed plumber. Same with gas stoves, although i've seen plenty of delivery guys bust out the wrenches and disconnect the old stove and hook up a new stove. They shouldn't.
They always hook up washers and dryers, those are simple enough.

Stoves are understandable if there is a gas one involved.

Dishwasher seems in-between as far as difficulty. Other states do not require plumbers.

How is your neighbor's lawn? If you aren't talking about it, it's probably because they mow or hire someone to mow it like a normal homeowner and don't let it become like a tropical rainforest of overgrown vegetation so high that you can barely get to the front door!

And that also only applies to public schools, not private.

That article only reinforces my point that a Master's degree is required for a public school teacher to reach "professional" status in MA.

This is disgusting! These rodents should not be put up for adoption, only to proliferate and cause more damage, infestation somewhere else. What kind of cuckoo keeps 500 mice in their home. Grossest thing I've read all week!

Because you changed your "point" after being proven wrong.

Not sure how I was "proven wrong". Someone inferred that Greater Boston communities required a Master's degree for teachers. I pointed out that it is a state law that requires public school teachers to get a Master's degree to achieve professional status. You linked an article saying the same thing.

Whatever. We have strayed too far from "2023 Real Estate Observations".

I think it's safe to say that it's becoming a little ridiculous to be a teacher in a state like MA these days.

https://www.bestcolleges.com/educati...0Massachusetts.

Aspiring teachers may need 4-5 years to earn licensure including time to graduate from college and take licensure tests. Teachers transferring from other states with state licensure and a bachelor's degree will need much less time to become a licensed teacher in Massachusetts.

That seems like a long time to end up being a teacher earning 80k a year...where you are constantly 'on' all day and talking to kids and bringing home work to correct, deal with parents, administration, etc. I really think some jobs need to be revisited on WHY a masters degree is required.

In some countries, math teachers must have a degree in math or math education; and physics teachers must have a degree in physics etc.
Maybe it is a good idea.
