I would not use this as an example for two reasons.

You cannot teach K-6 with just any degree. You have to have a elementary education degree.

Even then, in Texas and it most places it was at one time thought that at the very least ESL and Math/Science teachers were always in demand and there were always jobs. People graduating this past May and going into education found out first hand, even education is not recession proof, at least in Texas. There are a ton of unemployed education grads. Its not so easy to get a teach job in Texas these days.

Here in NJ you can sort of do it. You need a Certificate of eligibility, which many majors from college support. Then you could do the alternate path to teach and take some courses for 2 years to get completely certified while doing the job.

That being said, finding a teaching job is near impossible in many populated areas right now. unless you are science, math, or special ed.

It came across wrong. I meant you don't get to choose what you end up doing(supporting wars, etc) when you enlist.

Well if you've signed up in the last decade you've had a pretty good idea that you'd be going to a War zone. If you signed up for certain jobs you increased your odds. There is some control, be it very small.

It's a frontier. An adventure. You spend 4 or 5 hours climbing a mountain carrying 90lbs of gear, wondering who's watching you and what they'll do, and then you make it to the top, and look across a true frontier, rifle in hand.
So yes, I'm absolutely serious. I would spend every day in Afghanistan until we withdraw if our system allowed for it.

Look into it... here in WI we have teachers double diping all the time. They retire at 55 or after 20yrs in then get their jobs back at the same pay and no one has a chance at the job... sick as hell and I have seen it.

It's a matter of context. You portray yourself as one who was brought up behind the "Iron Curtain".

It's a successful schtick for you. Maybe you were. Maybe you weren't. I really don't care.

True Communism is just as unobtainable and ultimately unsuccessful as true Capitalism is.

I suppose those in Rome are hippies too?

Hippies, hipsters, violent protesters. All the same shit. They are all angry about something. It's just how their anger manifests that differs. Watch all those "peaceful hippies" cuss up a storm and throw blows at cops when their brotestors are justifiably arrested for breaking the law.

Watch the idiot throw fists at the cops @ 0:42.

What hippies think they are: Ghandi.
What hippies really are: Spoiled brats rebelling against their conservative parents.

I'm not totally sure what your point/argument is. I grew up in the communist Czechoslovakia and saw the velvet revolution with my own, albiet young, eyes...

Lol its not heroic at all. Planning on getting shot at isn't the best feeling ever. And I did already warn you that you wouldn't understand...

No, I understand. It is pulling a card that works as a trump in most political debates.

Like saying your mom died in a "yo momma" contest.

thing is, it does not fit here, so no matter how you couch it, it just don't hold salt.
