South Carolina has a big problem. High in-state college tuition while the average salaries are among the lowest in the nation.

Poor #WorkingConditions and #LowPay over the past two decades has resulted in fewer people entering #teaching programs and many #educators throwing in the towel shortly after they enter the system. "We're losing 25 per cent of our new #teachers within the first five years, so it's something that needs to be addressed," #StevenLeSueur, president of the #QuebecProvincialAssociationOfTeachers, said.

If you’re trying to pay your grads less than £25k, just know they don’t care about:

-free snacks
-office gyms
-a day off for your birthday

They care about whether they can pay their rent or not.

Stop underpaying your grads!

Its a stark message but hits the nail right on the head!
