[Denesia-Need a graduate job]

Never fail to amaze me the wide range in income distribution. A teacher, whose role includes counselor, mediator, and in some cases they are even mentors, yet they are so grossly underpaid. When I was choosing a graduate career I needed to make sure that it would be something I love and something that would also pay the bills and school loans. It eliminated teaching (something I'd love to do). Thats sad to say the least.
