Times They Are A'Changin'

It used to be that we could threaten our students with, "If you don't study hard and go to college, you might end up being a garbage collector!" But garbage men may go on strike. And on a news brief I heard that garbage collectors make $100,000.00. Hardly a threat any more. About $30,000.00 more than I make? With my college degrees and 17 years of teaching experience? Maybe I went into the wrong profession.
