    Weird because when I was a pizza guy, I made more than I did as a teacher

      Well are you factoring in the costs to the automobile like they mentioned? As they say they are a hidden cost and can be quite considerable long term as delivering pizzas adds a lot of wear and tear on a vehicle. When I delivered a LOOOONNNG time ago the costs really did sneak up on me. It was a fun job, and initially I thought it paid well - till I got a couple surprises.

        I’m vastly smarter than you, but no longer a teacher. Pay couldn’t keep up.
