Walter,

It doesn't seem like you're close to any K-12 teachers.  If you were, you'd 
know that they work at  least 10 months per year, because they have to 
prepare the classroom for fall, and close it down after spring.  And if you 
looked at the number of hours they work during the school year, they 
probably have an easy 12-month full-time equivalent, if not more.  That 
brings them up to $20,915 from of their $20,915 base salary.  Strangely, 
many of my close friends & relatives are teachers (including my wife, 
employed all 12 months in the year), and I have no desire to change 
jobs--or salaries--with any of them.
