The problem is that the unions pushed through requirements that people with advanced degrees should be payed more, where she would most likely forgo the extra 2k a year to teach she is now priced out of the market. In industry this type of stuff doesn't happen, sure you may like to earn more for having your degree but if it isn't valued by the employer then it has no bearing on your compensation.
- Retric 16y agoTry looking for a job as an “overqualified” applicant in private industry. If they are not paid more or treated better then it’s assumed they will quickly move on.
- CWuestefeld 16y agoI can't speak for every company, but we've never passed over an applicant having a higher degree. [EDIT: we've never passed over such an applicant for that reason] And having this be a judgment call by the employer still provides a heck of a lot more chance for the applicant than the union-dictated state of affairs, in which the combination of budget and laws forbid the hiring of this teacher.
