Okay. I see the math. I'm going to show why her math doesn't work.
She's looking at gross only. The top line. From that amount, she'll need to subtract overhead--that's facilities costs. How much does her building cost to rent? Probably a lot, because she only needs the one, big room. Say a storefront downtown. Renting means she doesn't have to pay for repairs and other maintenance costs...directly. How much does her power bill run? Her water/sewer bill? The trash bill? The gas bill for heating? Yeah, that's a ton more. Best figure the facilities cost will run around $200K. Maybe $250K. Minimum.
That leaves...somewhere between $127K and $77,600.
Cool. Now figure your janitor's wages. You're not getting one for less than $20K per year...and that's part time.
So. That pulls it down to $107-$57,600.
But wait! There's MORE!!!
This silly bitch be a public school teacher. Public schools provide breakfast and lunch on their dime for around half of the students. That involves food costs, and salaries for cooks!
There goes another $50K! Minimum! So...her share's shrinking. Hugely.
Okay. Let's assume she's not going to transport the little darlings herself, since that would leave her in the red. Let's look at...insurance. Insurance is going to eat probably another $30-50K/year.
Her take-home is going to be maybe $14K, if she's lucky, and has the brains to cut a LOT of deals. (Which, on balance, given her starting premise with no thought, I doubt she's capable of.)
Suddenly, that starting teachers' salary of $27-$37K is looking a whole lot better, isn't it?
