Oh sure. Lots of teachers stick with it, live with roommates until they&#x27;re in their mid-thirties, eat lots of beans and ramen, drive 20 year old cars, the works. My heart goes out to them; I wasn&#x27;t able to make those kind of sacrifices. But I hate the idea that the people to whom we entrust our children on a daily basis have to make those sacrifices to do the job.
