V.P. = Very Painful. Salary: $60,000 

You expel the star quarterback from school the day before the big CIF playoff game. You are officially voted most hated administrator by the students, the teachers, and even the other administrators. Better run to your car after school really, really fast.

Talk about catty. Salary: $70,000

You accidentally run over the principal's cat in the parking lot. Who brings their cat to work? You're pretty decent at the job, but you might as well pack your bags now.

Always the Vice, never the Principal. Salary: $80,000

You apply for and get a technology grant for your school that gives an iPad to every student. Too bad the principal takes all the credit.

All that for a plaque? Salary: $90,000

You are honored by your school district as most valued employee of the month. All the kids you've helped and the teachers who adore you throw a massive party in your honor. They present you with a gift certificate for a day at the spa and a plaque.

Climb that ladder. Salary: $100,000

The district commends you on your twenty years of service. You are everybody's favorite person at school, kids and teachers alike. Going to work is a joy and you take great pride in watching your kids grow and thrive. You are always introduced as "the best." Your principal is promoted to superintendent and his first order of business is to make you principal. It comes with the big office and a hefty pay raise. Life is good.
