Sorry, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.

Just because you have it difficult though doesn't diminish that teachers may also have it difficult. I find many of these comparisons boil down to that.

The ####ty parts of your job don't invalidate the ####ty parts of someone elses.

I mean, I could turn it around and say is it my fault you chose a career in an industry with huge boom and bust cycles? That would be pretty offensive.

I guess I don't feel the need to run down someone else's ####ty job because mine is ####ty too. I just hope someone else gets a less ####ty job around the same time I do as well.

The theme of Alberta politics lately seems to be "we are paying doctors and teachers and public sector workers too much" when the conversation should be "maybe I should be making money in line with them, what's stopping me?"
