Yeah what a shit job dealing with convicts and low life's all the time.  Mike has done well for himself.  All you youngsters out there looking to be pro BB's take a look at what you can achieve with your life.

i got a friend who started a bail bonds and makes well over 150 tho a year and then I got a friend with a PHD that is a vice principle in nyc making 65 thousand and gets a bit more as an adjunct at the community college each semester.  8 or more years of education and she can hardly make ends meet in ny....Monster job ops for those with masters/phds...y the way, what is your job (to the guys that said maonster job)?  By the way you talk if your degree doesn't get you at least 100 grand a year then Mommy and daddy sure wasted that cash, huh?  Oh, by the way my friend that didn't finish high school is set to make OVER...did you read that, OVER 300 thousand this year with the WWE....Monster education....

Yeah, sure they do....maybe on long island, but not the buroughs....My sister in law is in Jericho (one of the highest paid in the country) but that is nothing like nyc.  If any NYC (not long island) teachers are on here please tell us what you make and how long you been at your job.  I can and will get the name of the school my friend is VP of in Brooklyn.

In Florida, teachers currently top out at 49,000 with THIRTY years' experience.  How insane is that?  You do anything for 30 years, and you still can't hit 50k? Madness.

Boy that masters degree really paid off for them...how many room mates do you think they need to live in a two bedroom.  Hope their moms and dads had throw away cash for the education that is sooo valued....

He is a great inspiration.  One of the 1st articles I read in my 1st Muscle and Fitness Mag was his calf training sessions wearing some huge 80's shades.  I worked a booth for Prolab nearby at The Bodyrock show one year and I wanted to get a photo of his sick calves.  He began to shake it out to flex and it looked like a softball in a sock shaking back and forth before he tensed up, revealing this 2 inch cliff with vascularity pouring all over.  I was AMAZED!  He said the only time he trained 'em was for an article.  He'd ask the photographer what set/ rep scheme sounded reasonable so he could suggest that in the article.  Class act. :)

Where in Florida does your wife work? My wife has a credits toward aPHD, a masters, taught at adelphi un as an adjunct and FAU in Boca and got 36-44 thousand at a Palm beach county elementary school.  First year teachers do not make 46 thousand in Florida, no way.

My gf is in Hillsborough county, i just talked to her, she makes 42k.  She has a masters degree.  I just wanted to point out I know that the teachers don't top out at 49k a year.  Thats totally wrong.  42k isn't a shitload of money, but she works from 7-1:30 and you get the summers off.  Doesn't seem too bad to me.

Yes, time wise it is a good job, but not when considering the amount of years it took to earn that masters and the fact that she probably has to take on extra work in the summer to make ends meet if she is living alone.  That pay scale is much better than Palm Beach county, which is one of the wealthiest counties in Florida if not the wealthiest, so she's doing ok.  At least she's doing better than a friend of mine that is a teacher in one of the most dangerous city's in Ny, the bronx, and makes 36 thousand after a couple years...some job, huh, you need a armed security guy to walk you to your car at night, hahaha...stay in school.

keep planning or dreaming about that 300k doctor job....unless that plan inculdes being a specialist, very well known orth, or a good cosmetic surgeon 300k is gonna be hard to come by.  Oh, make sure to include enormous insurance cost and get lots and lots of ephedra to keep you up for days at a time with minimal sleep....Great job about 20 years ago, today, ahh, just good unless your one of the few i mentioned.  true?

Well she only has a 1 year masters so it didn't take that long.  Its a good job for a woman who gonna marry a guy who makes at least decent money becasuse of the time off when you have kids.  I actually live in Palm Beach county (West Boca)  She was gonna move down here, but teach inBroward becasue they pay better.  If you get into teaching for the money, you'll be surely dissappointed.
