Based on the $ ima assume you’re American and probably live in a high cost of living area, they get paid that much to compensate for high prices. They’re probably as poor as the rest of us.
Poor in my mind is not having basic necessities. At $30/h here you could definitely like… own a house, pay all your bills, buy groceries, pay for a vehicle, and still have like… $500+ left in your budget on a single income.
In my experience average pay is just above the peverty line in a given area. Most teachers make shit, especially for what they’re doing. And if the starting pay in your area is $30 the CoL is probably very high.
Like yeah, they’re not homeless, but most people are barely getting by on the average wage in the area.
