A glamorous young traffic controller has sent a blunt message to her high school teachers who warned her she would be 'poor' if she didn't go to university.
Alexandra Carnovalee, 18, uploaded a video to TikTok claiming she makes double the amount of money her teachers are currently earning.
The Sydney woman is seen posing with a colleague in her high-vis uniform as captions on the screen read 'Teachers: 'go to uni or else you will be poor'.
A young traffic controller has issued a brutal message to high school teachers who pushed her to attend university, claiming she now makes double what they earn
The lollipop ladies begin to dance in a circle as another caption reads 'we just made double your pay check by standing outside your house'.
The TikTok video has since received over one million views with dozens of young girls asking the glamorous graduate how she landed the job.
However, some viewers took offence to the young traffic controller claiming all teachers pushed their students to attend university.
'I really don't encourage my students to go to uni unless they want to pursue a career that needs further education or experience,' one teacher commented.
'Not many teachers are like this but there's a few who push uni a lot,' she replied.

Ms Carnovalee was forced to defend her message in the comments of the video.
'To clarify, this video is just a trend. I'm not putting anyone down for going to uni!', she explained.
The 18-year-old said working as a traffic controller was not her life-time career but was 'good money' for someone who had just graduated from high school.
'Don't drop out of school to do this please! Do whatever makes you happy!' she said.
Other commenters asked Ms Carnovalee how she got the lollipop lady gig.
Ms Carnovalee (pictured) said while working as a lollipop lady wasn't her life-time career it was still 'good money' for people who had just graduated high school
She told viewers she had completed a three-day course and then a practical exam.
'After completing your TC courses just email a bunch of different companies, they are always looking to hire people,' the traffic controller encouraged.
It comes after a high school dropout revealed she earns more than $1770 per week working as a lollipop lady - a job which can pay up to $130,000 per year.
Belinha Ferreira uploaded a video to TikTok detailing how much she makes each day controlling traffic at constructions sites in Melbourne.
