[QUOTE="paulska, post: 613015, member: 557"] I teach high school in a region where student enrolment is declining, and there's no question the number of staff required to teach school will decline too in the next couple of decades. A lot of my colleagues assume that their jobs, because they are unionized, will always be there, and will always be like they are right now. I recognize that if all I can teach is one thing, I'll be one of those that doesn't last. The time is coming in the not too distant future when if you can't provide meaningful teaching in different subject areas, you won't be someone schools can really justify having on staff. We are permitted three certification upgrades where I work, and I'm really thinking about the two I haven't done and how I can get degrees or certificates so I can teach in departments I'm not currently qualified to teach in. In a micro way, you're right that guys like Bush and Barclay end up insulating themselves from job insecurity with an NFL team because they offer quality and depth in a variety of roles- that makes them really good value for the money paid. To replace their functionality in all respects would take multiple contracts AND more roster spots. It's a pretty savvy way to make a living in a pro sport, and in this light, it's not hard to see why TT is OK with paying them with what appears to be a contract that's somewhat above market.
