i just think it's a shame that teaching is one of the lower paying professions....who taught all of those big executives and all the other highly-paid people? clearly they didn't learn everything themselves. so why are the pay gaps so big? it behooves me

teaching used to be one of the highest paid professions, up there with medicine and law. this was a lonnnnng time ago--when men dominated the profession. as women started entering the priofession, it (as with most things) lost its prestige. now the only way to get decently paid from teaching is in higher ed, but you must be really on top of your stuff. and of course into that sorta thing.
and i hope im going to be blessed with "the gift" cause i want to go into middle school teaching. perhaps college, but well see.
