Reread your post and tell me it isn’t very negative towards teachers. How would you like a post like this:

My main issue with oil and gas workers (personally, my opinion) is that they seem to effectively play the victim card non-stop. As if they are this crazy hard-done-by industry that is single-handedly responsible for all human progress. But do they understand what most jobs entail? How can they criticize others for "not understanding what they deal with" when likewise they don't empathize for other careers? And in the end, it's kind of a weird discussion altogether. Different jobs are different. News at 11. If it's so ####ing good, go be an oil and gas engineer. If it's so ####ing bad, quit and join the public sector. But let me tell you... you'll miss those massive paycheques, bonuses, Fridays off, and the leisurely pace of life in downtown. I guarantee it.
