Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Requiring a degree should come with a minimum pay. Perhaps $30 per hr for a bachelor and $40 for a masters.
I have seriously seen 50k jobs requiring a Master's. I have made well over that in the last 15 years with just an Associate's. That I just got. In the same field.
Companies are stupid if they think anyone is going to apply there.
I believe teaching usually requires a Masters
It does! They should get paid more. But capitalism.
In college, yes, but most places require a bachelor's and a teaching certificate.
There are places that don’t require a Masters to get a teaching certificate? I mean, sure there are temporary exceptions for new teachers and a testing process for career changes, but by and large teaching requires a Masters
My state’s department of education describes a Bachelors, and standardized tests as minimum requirements, but then goes on to say that is “preliminary certification “, and you must complete your Masters or equivalent during that limited period. (And as a practical consideration you’ll find it much harder to get a job)
Those some low wages for jobs requiring degrees.
I am not saying those are the correct rates. As a floor they probably should be low. Rates should vary by area anyway. Perhaps as a percentage of median apartment or home rent?
But here in rural America I have seen plenty of jobs that require degrees that pay less than that.
$30 an hour is in the 70th percentile of median income, and $40 an hour is in the 80th.
The median worker with a Bachelor's degree makes about $27 an hour.
I get that it's more than the majority of people make. I just still think it's too low. Everybody making less than $400k should be making more.
I'm all for higher wages, but $400k for every job? But hey, if you could make it work, I'm all in lol.
Jeez, I'm a school bus driver and we get $30 an hour - obviously no degree is required.
CDL at least?
Yes, also passenger, school bus and air brake endorsements. And you have to pass random drug tests, which is the biggest hardship.
