The headline is definitely click bait. Makes it sound like she's a worker drone walking the floor at your local Costco. She took a corporate office job. The problems with teacher wages and hours are very real, but she also doesn't get summers off anymore. Not sure if she accounted for that in her 50% pay bump either.

Lotta teachers work other jobs over the summer to make ends meet, too
