A Boston high-school teacher describes the belief that caring for people meant rejecting money and business. She chose people over profit, ending up $100,000 in debt and burned out, unable to help anyone.
I'm from Boston. We kind of have chips on our shoulders, okay? And I had this chip on my shoulder that you either care about people or you care about money/business. And if you care about money and business, you don't care about people. And I cared about people. So I'm gonna be a broke, burned-out high school educator, $100,000 in debt. And I couldn't help a whole lot of people.
