A former teacher has gone viral after sharing her realisation that she could earn more money working as a barista than as an elementary school teacher.
In a video shared to TikTok, an Arizona woman explained how she quit her job as a fifth grade teacher after two months because she was only making $12 an hour. “I was pulling out of my savings in order to live,” said TikTok user @emmtee23. “I was getting paid and then still having to pull out of my savings in order to literally make a living. Not even make a living, I was paying to work.”
