I'm a public school administrator and a university lecturer and I can't figure out where all the money goes. And I even have access to and meetings about the books at the school district. :/

Well, I do know, kind of. Pensions and long term health care is eating massive amounts of budget. It is also why I have never entertained striking out on any of my personal ideas, and why I have turned down 3 different start-up offers. With a full disclaimer that I'm a unashamed and registered socialist, the difficulties of long term medical, disability, retirement, and so on make going it alone a seriously dangerous proposition.
