When teachers first got paid benefits for health and a pension p

Court House - When teachers first got paid benefits for health and a pension plan, they did not start out at $60,000-plus (for 10 months) but around $7,000 if lucky. Maybe that is why they want teachers today to help pay for their health benefits and do a 401K plan. I know the economy is different now, but not many public sector jobs start out that high, even with a four year degree.
