When we went into this profession to be some a teacher we knew we would never become wealthy but we did it anyway because it was a passion to want to educate children. We thought that our retirement would be a great benefit and reward for the vocation we chose. The 2011 pension reform stole this from us. We work longer and make less, Because teachers can’t retire, some are so far removed from the students m, the quality of education is declining. College students stay away from the profession because the salary and benefits are not competitive. We thought we signed up for a noble profession with a light at the end of the tunnel. That light has been gone since 2011.
