For sure. You need to up the ante on the weekly friend stipend

I’m probably underpaid, but beggars can’t be choosers. Right?

Amen and if I felt strongly enough I’d do something about it

I excel in a career where you don’t get rewarded for excelling. Just do your job

Just so you know this wasn’t directed just at teachers but I appreciate what you’re saying.

Oh, I know you weren’t. I was just adding my thoughts on compensation.

At least the low pay hasn't affected your self image!

Haha! For sure. I do what I do because I’m not really good at much else.

I could double my salary doing what I do outside the military.

OK, so why don't you get a job outside the military?

It's hard to put a monetary value on the benefits. Military life is unique and most

Yes, about 10%... Obligatory reminder: please tip your Uber/Lyft driver

I started driving today and realized how huge of a deal even a one dollar tip is

Why such a big deal?

Margin is small, a buck more a trip improves like 2 to 4 bucks an hour

Is there a place to tip in the app? I looked once, but never saw it.
