Letter: Think you’ve got it bad? Try teaching

It never ceases to amaze me how dealers cry a river over how "unfair" their job is. They deal cards for a living. Teachers, with a degree, are lucky to make 30 grand a year and they have the toughest, and most important, job in the country.

And before you whine, "They get three months off," they put in a ton of overtime during the school year grading papers and putting together lesson plans. The dealers complaining about getting screwed for having to share their tips with supervisors should go find a real job if they think they have it so bad.
