Hey, kiddos, I know that some of you are in school and fretting over what career to go into. "I got a degree in gender studies, now what, ahhh!" Some of you are just sick of being poor.
Do you have a bachelors in a social science or two years of activist experience? Are you willing to work 100 hours a week for 45K? Is a clean conscious more valuable to you than your sanity? Work for a union! Go become an organizer in training for SEIU or AFSCE or Unite-Here or some other expansion-minded union. Meet workaholic comrades.
Being a teacher isn't the only way to get over-worked for 45K with a clean conscious, there's always union work.
Burnout is common.
And then watch as the union you work for endorses every local imperialist politician because they understand exactly which side their bread is buttered on.
