That's shockingly common. But I'm sure Jackie learned from her mistake, thats what FCS classes are for. We just need more of them and more kids to get access to them.

Family and Consumer Sciences includes many of those occupations and many many more. While I agree those working as educators are underpaid, other occupations in FCS attract much higher salaries, let's work together to promote all FCS occupations within the FCS Industry.
