I wasn't acting surprised. I thought we were having a discussion about moving to a new place for higher wages and how it wasn't sustainable using teaching as an example.

I'm not sure the direction you've gone.

Telling me "I knew what I was getting into" is a null excuse. Yea, I knew the pay. I want to teach. I deal with the shit pay because it's all I can get. Because "I knew the pay was insufficient", I'm unwise to have become a teacher?

That is a very misdirected excuse that districts completely from the fact the jobs dont pay enough in the first place.
