Suze Orman Is Having a Moment
One more person putting teachers down. This is from a New York Times Magazine profile on Suze Orman, who rakes in $80,000 a pop for her public appearances. I wonder if she questioned the profile writer on her annual income before deciding if she was worthy. Or maybe people working for the New York Times get a pass.
by Susan Dominus
Orman has strong opinions in general. She won’t speak before many doctors’ groups, because they get on her nerves (doctors always think they know better, she says). Until recently, she didn’t like to speak at universities, because they generally don’t charge students to attend her lectures, and she says that people don’t value things they haven’t paid for.
She has been reluctant to work on school curricula on personal finance, because she says students can’t learn empowerment from people who aren’t empowered, and teachers, she says, are too underpaid ever to have any real self-worth. She told me: “When you are somebody scared to death of your own life, how can you teach kids to be powerful? It’s not something in a book — it ain’t going to happen that way.” She once delivered pretty much the same message at an anniversary celebration of a private school — she seems to recall calling the school a “travesty” — and was all but escorted to the door when she was done.
