They only work about eight months out of the year (summers off and major holidays) and many other days the teachers and students get out early but it counts as a full day. And many barely work eight hours a day on normal days. And studies have shown teachers don't spend much more time working at home than other people.
And compared to the amount they actually work, their entry-level pay is more than many engineers, accountants, computer program designers, and other professionals. And of course, more than other blue-collar laborers, who actually do physical work, out in the heat.
I knew someone who couldn't wait to get back to being a school teacher because he said it was easier than a job in the real world.
Actually I always liked school and got my BBA and have 150 hours.
And you're basing those salaries on people who work year around. Teachers don't. I wish I had three months off in the summer, two weeks off for Christmas, one week for Thanksgiving and numerous other holidays. And a week off for spring break! Yeah, let all those other people tell their bosses they want that.
As far as 'students who don't want to be there', I don't know where you went to school but every school and college I went to had only a minority of students didn't want to be there. And in the inner-city schools where there are more behavorial problems, the teachers are offered even more money as an incentive to teach there.
Also, the courses are harder and more intensive in those other professions. I know that first-hand.
