OT: Where are affluent people moving?
- Thread starter T2Kplus20
- Start date
so You are saying your parents are dumb for living in NJ and you were not smart enough to get into your top choice?
Was always interesting in my living and travels outside New Jersey how Rutgers' academic reputation is higher among non-residents than residents.
Those people should’ve left a lot sooner. Moronic to stay in a place one hates so much. And politics is equally corrupt everywhere.
like the inner cities and school districts like Baltimore that fail to produce ANY students who pass proficiency tests
🤣
Unfortunately for me, I live in a glass house when it comes to using commas. Still, I enjoyed the ironic exchange very much.
Love the billboard on the way into Atlantic City on Rt 30 from the State of New Jersey asking for people to contact the state to prevent their eviction.
Have a niece just out of college starting her first teaching job in Point Pleasant Beach.
$60,000 plus benefits
But she gets the summer off. That’s like 400k equivalent.
60K starting plus healthcare and pension (what's the vesting schedule?) and 12 weeks off during the year. That's damned nice. And it will be a while before she has to worry about putting anyone through college.
If you assume 180 days of school at 8 hour days = 1440 hrs, plus 200 hrs of various other time spent outside of school hours or active school days, you get to 1640 hours a year. 60k/1640 = $36/hr. Not bad. Not great.
When you factor in vacations, holidays, etc. in an office workers' work year, the 2080 hours that gets thrown around...companies will generally find that their employees are working ~85% of the work year. This ends up being 1768 hours a year, without considering any OT hours. The workload difference is not as big as you make it out to be.
Thank you for pointing out my grammatical error, I bet you are a retired NJ school teacher that brought your shitty politics to NC.
To quote another poster in this thread “It’s an observation sport. It is what it is.” , but I will answer your questions.
1. I would say my parents were smart for moving to New Jersey because they moved out of an even worse place (NY city) so everything is relative.
2. I was rejected at MIT, Princeton and Yale and settled for RU😉
You would lose that bet. You seem the sort, though, that loses many bets. Ironically, you did "it" again in your clever retort: another comma splice.
Are you still living in New Jersey? You would have had the opportunity to move out after college.
Entry level would normally get 2 weeks vacation, 8-10 holidays depending on the industry and 5 sick days.
That would put it at 1880 hours. And that's assuming zero outside of work hours, which is accurate in some cases but not all and rarely 200. I'd round it to 1900, which is significantly more than 1640.
Maybe, like their child, or perhaps because of him, they were so busy being angry at the world, they didn't have time to think about moving someplace that child would think is nicer?
What I really want to know is what it would take to get all the effluent people in NJ to move anyplace else.
my company starts with 3 weeks vacation, 16 holiday days, unlimited sick. and, while decent, isn't special in my travels in the working world.
probably not an easy exercise to determine. trying to gameplan that out would stink.

With abortion access no longer a constitutional right, Americans are rethinking where they live and work.
Maybe, you know, they could move to Flushing.

I figured this was true when guy said that. Not surprising. Thanks for posting.
It's not fair ruining his angry rant with facts.“Roughly 1 in 3 job-seekers say they won't apply to a job in a state with an abortion ban, according to an August ResumeBuilder survey of 1,000 people.

If I were job hunting, I would absolutely avoid any tyrannical extremist state that believes they can own a person's body and dictate what happens to it. One of the most anti-freedom, anti-American laws a state could enact. The kind of thing one would expect in China or North Korea, not here in the US.
🤣
You would be a whole lot more fun to hang out with than the angry NJ-hating dude. I mean, people have a choice, right? They can sit around and bitch about how much they hate stuff. Or they can sit around have share laughs about stuff.
Each to their own, but for me, life is way too short to waste it heaping hate on everything.
They owned a summer home in NJ and I guess they picked the lesser of two evils. It was more than 70 years ago and perhaps NJ was different than it is now.
That is crazy- my SIL that has been teaching in New York- Dutchess County since mid 80’s- first hit 6 figures around 1999. She is now about $150k per year. Public school HS Math.
I know you disagree with my stance on guns. But at least I'm consistent about individual freedoms. And freedom over one's own body is pretty fundamental, even in situations where the tradeoff is kind of horrific in some cases (i.e. late term abortions).
The choice really sucks, IMO. But humans didn't exactly design themselves this way.
