Eddie Intervention Needed

He says he earns as much from June-Aug as he does the rest of the year as a teacher. He's got a bunch of teens he works with mowing and edging lawns. During the summer they also do some power raking and aerating.

Most teachers I know work some sort of side gig during the summer.

Always makes me mad when ignorant people assume teachers have an easy gig

wiscougarfan

Yes. I'd love for someone to take my classroom for a week to see what it's like.

There are good and bad employees in every profession.

Eddie

Summers off? Or summers unemployed?

redraider88

1/22/21 2:28pm

Yes, you should become a teacher. There is a shortage right now.

JEblue

Yeah. Teachers can have nice things too.

LyleLanley

On a teacher's wage? Must be embezzling.

Sea Chicken

Aren't teachers in some states paid ok?

I think he's talking about red truck with BYU stickers, not teacher bashing

ochobeeguy

1/22/21 9:57am

No doubt but let's not let the truth get in the way of a good CB argument

COUGND

I have a red truck and hate the color every time I drive it.

cougarmeister

1/22/21 8:38am

My cheap, old, neglected red truck is great ,except for the color.

eyes4byu

1/22/21 9:03am

Spray paint is pretty cheap. You could do the whole truck for under $25

TheLoanArranger

1/22/21 10:17am

It wouldn’t look any worse than it does now (both quality & color of paint job)

cougarmeister

1/22/21 11:14am

once I asked my wife if I could by a motorcycle again because I had to sell

southprovocougar

1/22/21 12:07pm

Dad? Is that you? I didn't know you were on CB. That explains the ugly red truck

GoCougs84

1/23/21 8:36am

Agreed. I have almost nothing red in my house or clothes. My wife wanted red and white Christmas lights and I would not

Trent

1/22/21 8:40am

The only red clothes I own are a 49ers and coca cola shirt.

SoValleyCOUG

1/22/21 8:42am

I own one red sweatshirt and I rarely wear it due to its color.

No man can serve 2 masters. Must be trying to appease the U fans and the Y fans

OldFogey

I don’t even have a red shirt. I used to, but it was very lonely.

I used to have a red uofU shirt that someone gave me
