Most Important Job…?

March 15, 2018

Dear Editor,

What is the most important job in this country/world?

It is not the doctors.

It is not lawyers.

It is not press reporters.

It is not firefighters.

It is not cooks.

It is not police officers.

It is not preachers/pastors.

It is not presidents.

It is not the nanny.

It is not generals.

It is not truck drivers.

It is not carpenters.

It is not high tech computer geek.

The most important job in the USA/ world is our public school teachers. Without them none of the above mentioned jobs would be possible.

Want to support independent local journalism?

The Sandpoint Reader is our town's local, independent weekly newspaper. "Independent" means that the Reader is locally owned and operated by people who were born and raised in Sandpoint. The Reader is owned by Publisher Ben Olson, Editor-in-Chief Zach Hagadone and Senior Writer Soncirey Mitchell. Sandpoint Reader LLC is a completely independent business unit; no big newspaper group or corporate conglomerate or billionaire owner dictates our editorial policy. And we want the news, opinion and lifestyle stories we report to be freely available to all interested readers - so unlike many other newspapers and media websites, we have NO PAYWALL on our website. The Reader relies wholly on the support of our valued advertisers, as well as readers who voluntarily contribute. Want to ensure that local, independent journalism survives in our town? You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
